Part A: Solve P = 4a for a. Show your work. (4 points) Part B: Solve 3c − 5f = 55 for f. Show your work. (6 points)

1 answer:

5 0

Since we have two unknowns in both equations, the solution will still consists the known.
For the part A
P=4a,
Dividing both sides by 4,
P/4 =a
Therefore, a = P/4

Part B:
3c - 5f = 55
Add 5f on both sides of the equation,
3c-5f+5f=55+5f
3c=55+5f
Now subtract 55 on both sides
5f = 3c - 55
Divide both side of the equation by 5 to get f,
5f/5 = (3c-55)/5
f = (3/5)c - 11

For how many real values of x is <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Csqrt%7B120-%5Csqrt%7Bx%7D%7D%20" id="TexFormula1" title

A good place to start is to set $\sqrt{x}$ to y. That would mean we are looking for $\sqrt{120-y}$ to be an integer. Clearly, $y\leq 120$ , because if y were greater the part under the radical would be a negative, making the radical an imaginary number, not an integer. Also note that since $\sqrt{x}$ is a radical, it only outputs values from $[0,\infty]$ , which means y is on the closed interval: $[0,120]$ .

With that, we don't really have to consider y anymore, since we know the interval that $\sqrt{x}$ is on.

Now, we don't even have to find the x values. Note that only 11 perfect squares lie on the interval $[0,120]$ , which means there are at most 11 numbers that x can be which make the radical an integer. All of the perfect squares are easily constructed. We can say that if k is an arbitrary integer between 0 and 11 then:

$\sqrt{120-\sqrt{x}}=k \implies \\ \sqrt{x}=k^2-120 \implies\\ x=(k^2-120)^2$
