Answer:

w= 9

Step-by-step explanation:

\sqrt{ - 4w + 61}  = w - 4

Square both sides:

-4w +61= (w -4)²

\boxed{(a - b)^{2}  = a^2 -2ab + b^2 }

Expand:

-4w +61= w² -2(w)(4) +4²

-4w +61= w² -8w +16

Simplify:

w² -8w +16 +4w -61= 0

w² -4w -45= 0

Factorize:

(w -9)(w +5)= 0

w -9= 0 or w +5= 0

w= 9 or w= -5 (reject)

Note:

-5 is rejected since we are only taking the positive value of the square root here. If the negative square root is taken into consideration, then w= -5 would give us -9 on both sides of the equation.

<u>Why </u><u>do </u><u>we </u><u>use </u><u>negative </u><u>square </u><u>root?</u>

When solving an equation such as x²= 4,

we have to consider than squaring any number removes the negative sign i.e., the result of a squared number is always positive.

In the case of x²= 4, x can be 2 or -2. Thus, whenever we introduce a square root, a '±' must be used.

However, back to our question, we did not introduce the square root so we should not consider the negative square root value.

Answer: w=9.

Step-by-step explanation:

\sqrt{-4w+61}=w-4

Tolerance range:

\left \{ {{-4w+61\geq 0} \atop {w-4\geq 0}} \right. \ \ \ \ \left \{ {{4w\leq 61\ |:4} \atop {w\geq 4}} \right. \ \ \ \ \left \{ {{w\leq 15,25} \atop {w\geq 4}} \right. \ \ \ \ \Rightarrow\ \ \ \ \\w\in[4;15,25].

Solution:

(\sqrt{-4w+61})^2=(w-4)^2\\-4w+61=w^2-2*w*4+4^2\\-4w+61=w^2-8w+16\\w^2-4w-45=0\\D=(-4)^2-4*1*(-45)\\D=16+4*45\\D=16+180\\D=196.\\\sqrt{D}=\sqrt{196}\\\sqrt{D}=14   \\w_{1,2}=\frac{-(-4)б14}{2} \\w_1=\frac{4-14}{2} \\w_1=\frac{-10}{2} \\w_1=-5\ \notin tolerance\  range.\\w_2=\frac{4+14}{2}\\ w_2=\frac{18}{2} \\w_2=9\ \in tolerance \ range.

Please help!!!!!!!!!!
lapo4ka [179]

Answer: 18.7

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the lengths of AB, BC, and CA

AB = \sqrt{(4-(-1))^{2} + (-1-4)^{2} } = 5\sqrt{2} ≈ 7.1

BC = \sqrt{(0-(-1))^{2} + (-3-4)^{2} } = 5\sqrt{2} ≈ 7.1

CA = \sqrt{(0-4)^{2} + (-3-(-1))^{2} } = 2\sqrt{5} ≈ 4.5

7.1 + 7.1 + 4.5 = 18.7

If the perimeter of vectangle wall is 360 cm and its breath is 60cm. Find its length and also find the totalt cost of painting t
alexdok [17]

Answer:

<u>Rs. 72</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

We have 2 values here,

  • Perimeter of the rectangle = 360 cm
  • Breadth of the rectangle (b) = 60 cm.

Firstly, we must find the length of the rectangle (l).

So, according to the formula,

Perimeter = 2 (b + l)

360 = 2 (60 + l)

360 = 120 + 2l

360 - 120 = 2l

240 = 2l

120 cm = l

Now, we need to find the area of the rectangular wall & then convert it from cm² to m² as the cost of painting is given in m².

So,

Area = lb

Area = 120 × 60

Area = 7,200 cm²

Let's convert it to m² now,

7200/1000

= 7.2 m²

Given, cost of painting per m² = Rs. 10

So, the cost of painting the wall is,

10 × 7.2

= <u>Rs. 72</u>

Hope it helps!
