Answer:
See explanation below
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the value of x in each of the following
1) x-1+5√x-1+3=0
5√x-1 = -x -2
Square both sides
25(x-1) = (-x-2)^2
25(x-1) = x^2+4x + 4
25x-25 = x^2+4x + 4
x^2 +4x + 4 - 25x + 25 = 0
x^2 - 21x + 29 = 0
x = 21±√21²-4(29)/2
x = 21±√441-116/2
x = 21±√325/2
x = 21±18.03/2
x = 21+18.03/2 and 21-18.03/2
x = 19.515 and 1.485
4) x^4-64=0
x^4 = 64
![x = \sqrt[4]{64}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=x%20%3D%20%5Csqrt%5B4%5D%7B64%7D)
x = 2.83
Answer: 41 or 85
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Range is the difference between the largest number and the smallest number.
The largest number is 72. 72 - 31 = 41
The smallest number is 54. 54 + 31 = 85
Adding either ONE of those numbers will result in a range of 31.
If you visualize the problem, there are two concentric circles, the pool, and the pool plus the walkway. So, we have to subtract the area of these two concentric circles to find the walkway.
Bigger circle: Pool plus walkway
----------------------------------
diameter = 18 + 4(2) -- this is because there is 2 ft of walkway at each far end
diameter = 26 ft
Area = pi*(26/2)^2
Area = 530.93 ft2
Smaller circle:pool
---------------------
diameter = 18 ft
Area = pi*(8/2)^2
Area = 50.27 ft2
Area of walkway
----------------
A = 530.93 - 50.27
A = 480.66 ft2
Then the cost would be
Cost = $4.25 * 480.66
Cost = $2,042.81
