64 POINT QUESTION<br><br> √(5-2x) - √(2-x) = 1

Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

x = 2 and x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

The easiest way is to guess. We know that you can't have a square root of a negative number. This constrains x between negative infinity to 2. Testing 2 and -2, we see that it satisfy the equation.

The more systematic approach is shown below

$\sqrt{5-2x}-\sqrt{2-x}=1 \\\sqrt{5-2x}-\sqrt{2-x}+\sqrt{2-x}=1+\sqrt{2-x} \\\sqrt{5-2x} = 1+\sqrt{2-x}$

$5-2x=(1+\sqrt{2-x})^2\\5-2x=1+2\sqrt{2-x}+2-x\\2-x=2\sqrt{2-x}\\1-0.5x=\sqrt{2-x}\\(1-0.5x)^2=2-x\\1-x+0.25x^2=2-x\\0.25x^2-1=0\\0.25x^2 = 1\\x^2 = 4\\x = +/-2$

x= -2, 2

Simplify the difference. (4w^2 – 4w – 8) – (2w^2 + 3w – 6)

Blababa [14]

Answer:

2w^2 -7w-2

Step-by-step explanation:

(4w^2 – 4w – 8) – (2w^2 + 3w – 6)

Distribute the minus sign

(4w^2 – 4w – 8) – 2w^2 - 3w + 6

I like to line them up vertically

4w^2 – 4w – 8

– 2w^2 - 3w + 6

-----------------------------

2w^2 -7w-2
