The equation f(x)=g(x) is

|x-4|-11=-\sqrt{5x}

Some observations:

  • \sqrt{5x} is defined only as long as 5x\ge0, or x\ge0
  • wherever \sqrt{5x} is defined, its value must be non-negative, so that -\sqrt{5x} is never positive
  • by the definition of absolute value, we have |x-4|=x-4 if x\ge4, and |x-4|=-(x-4)=4-x if x. Then

|x-4|-11=\begin{cases}x-15&\text{for }x\ge4\\-x-7&\text{for }x

If x, the equation becomes

-x-7=-\sqrt{5x}\implies x+7=\sqrt{5x}

Taking the square of both sides gives

(x+7)^2=\left(\sqrt{5x}\right)^2\implies x^2+14x+49=5x\implies x^2+9x+49=0

but since the discriminant is 9^2-4\cdot1\cdot49, there are no real solutions.

If x\ge4, then

x-15=-\sqrt{5x}

Taking squares gives

(x-15)^2=\left(-\sqrt{5x}\right)^2\implies x^2-30x+225=5x

and solving by the quadratic formula gives two potential solutions,

x=\dfrac{35\pm5\sqrt{13}}2

which have approximate values of 8.49 and 26.51.

We know for any value of x that g(x)\le0. We have f(8.49)\approx-6.51 and f(26.51)\approx11.51, so only the first solution 8.49 is valid.

10(-3n + 8) = 380 pls find n
Flauer [41]

Answer:

n = - 10

Step-by-step explanation:

10(-3n + 8) = 380

-30n + 80 = 380

80 - 380 = 30n

30n = - 300

n = - 300 : 30

n = - 10
