We have been given that Grant spent $2.50, $4.00, $4.25, and $3.25 on breakfast in one week. The next week he spent $6 more in total for the 4 breakfasts than the week before. We are asked to find increase in the mean of second week.
Since Grant spent $6 more than last week, we will divide 6 by 4 to get how much mean of second week breakfast expenditures increased with respect to first week expenditures.
Therefore, mean of second week breakfast expenditure will be $1.5 more than first week.
Answer: x" = 5.69
Step-by-step explanation:
The graphic solution is attached.
Verifying the solution:
Existence condition: x > 0
2x - 4 = √x + 5
√x =2x - 4 - 5
√x =2x - 9 (²)
x = (2x - 9)²
x = 4x² - 36x + 81
4x² - 36x - x + 81 = 0
4x² - 37x + 81 = 0
Δ = -37² - 4.4.81 = 1369 - 1296 = 73
x = 37 ±√73/8
x' = 3.55
x" = 5.69
checking:
2*3.55 - 4 = 3.1
√3.55 + 5 = 6.88 Its not the same ∴ 3.55 is not a solution
2*5.69 - 4 = 7.39
√5.69 + 5 = 7.39 ∴ it's the only solution
