First observe that if $a+b>0$ ,

$(a + b)^2 = a^2 + 2ab + b^2 \\\\ \implies a + b = \sqrt{a^2 + 2ab + b^2} = \sqrt{a^2 + ab + b(a + b)} \\\\ \implies a + b = \sqrt{a^2 + ab + b \sqrt{a^2 + ab + b(a+b)}} \\\\ \implies a + b = \sqrt{a^2 + ab + b \sqrt{a^2 + ab + b \sqrt{a^2 + ab + b(a+b)}}} \\\\ \implies a + b = \sqrt{a^2 + ab + b \sqrt{a^2 + ab + b \sqrt{a^2 + ab + b \sqrt{\cdots}}}}$

Let $a=0$ and $b=x$ . It follows that

$a+b = x = \sqrt{x \sqrt{x \sqrt{x \sqrt{\cdots}}}}$

Now let $b=1$ , so $a^2+a=4x$ . Solving for $a$ ,

$a^2 + a - 4x = 0 \implies a = \dfrac{-1 + \sqrt{1+16x}}2$

which means

$a+b = \dfrac{1 + \sqrt{1+16x}}2 = \sqrt{4x + \sqrt{4x + \sqrt{4x + \sqrt{\cdots}}}}$

Now solve for $x$ .

$x = \dfrac{1 + \sqrt{1 + 16x}}2 \\\\ 2x = 1 + \sqrt{1 + 16x} \\\\ 2x - 1 = \sqrt{1 + 16x} \\\\ (2x-1)^2 = \left(\sqrt{1 + 16x}\right)^2$

(note that we assume $2x-1\ge0$ )

$4x^2 - 4x + 1 = 1 + 16x \\\\ 4x^2 - 20x = 0 \\\\ 4x (x - 5) = 0 \\\\ 4x = 0 \text{ or } x - 5 = 0 \\\\ \implies x = 0 \text{ or } \boxed{x = 5}$

(we omit $x=0$ since $2\cdot0-1=-1\ge0$ is not true)

During a recent election, 42 of every 100 registered voters in a certain city voted. If there were 158 , 200 registered voters i

Ivanshal [37]

Seeing as there are 1582 sets of 100 people (158200 ÷ 100) multiplying 42 by 1582 should get you the answer. 1582 × 42 = 66444. 66444 people voted in that city.
