Answer:

39 quarters, or 9.75 dollars.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can turn this into an algebra equation.

23 + 4x If x = 4

x stands for the number of weeks.

After solving that, we get 39 quarters.

To turn it into dollars, we divide it by 4 (because 4 quarters is equal to one dollar) and then we get 9 3/4. 3/4 dollars is just .75 cents, so the answer is 9.75 dollars.

Observe that

$\left(\sqrt x - \dfrac1{\sqrt x}\right)^2 = \left(\sqrt x\right)^2 - 2\sqrt x\dfrac1{\sqrt x} + \left(\dfrac1{\sqrt x}\right)^2 = x - 2 + \dfrac1x$

Now,

$x = 9 - 4\sqrt5 \implies \dfrac1x = \dfrac1{9-4\sqrt5} = \dfrac{9 + 4\sqrt5}{9^2 - \left(4\sqrt5\right)^2} = 9 + 4\sqrt5$

so that

$\left(\sqrt x - \dfrac1{\sqrt x}\right)^2 = (9 - 4\sqrt5) - 2 + (9 + 4\sqrt5) = 16$

$\implies \sqrt x - \dfrac1{\sqrt x} = \pm\sqrt{16} = \pm 4$

To decide which is the correct value, we need to examine the sign of $\sqrt x - \frac1{\sqrt x}$ . It evaluates to 0 if

$\sqrt x = \dfrac1{\sqrt x} \implies x = 1$

We have

$9 - 4\sqrt5 = \sqrt{81} - \sqrt{16\cdot5} = \sqrt{81} - \sqrt{80} > 0$

Also,

$\sqrt{81} - \sqrt{64} = 9 - 8 = 1$

and $\sqrt x$ increases as $x$ increases, which means

$0 < 9 - 4\sqrt5 < 1$

Therefore for all $0 < x < 1$ ,

$\sqrt x - \dfrac1{\sqrt x} < 0$

For example, when $x=\frac14$ , we get

$\sqrt{\dfrac14} - \dfrac1{\sqrt{\frac14}} = \dfrac1{\sqrt4} - \sqrt4 = \dfrac12 - 2 = -\dfrac32 < 0$

Then the target expression has a negative sign at the given value of $x$ :

$x = 9-4\sqrt5 \implies \sqrt x - \dfrac1{\sqrt x} = \boxed{-4}$

Alternatively, we can try simplifying $\sqrt x$ by denesting the radical. Let $a,b,c$ be non-zero integers ( $c>0$ ) such that

$\sqrt{9 - 4\sqrt5} = a + b\sqrt c$

Note that the left side must be positive.

Taking squares on both sides gives

$9 - 4\sqrt5 = a^2 + 2ab\sqrt c + b^2c$

Let $c=5$ and $ab=-2$ . Then

$a^2+5b^2=9 \implies a^2 + 5\left(-\dfrac2a\right)^2 = 9 \\\\ \implies a^2 + \dfrac{20}{a^2} = 9 \\\\ \implies a^4 + 20 = 9a^2 \\\\ \implies a^4 - 9a^2 + 20 = 0 \\\\ \implies (a^2 - 4) (a^2 - 5) = 0 \\\\ \implies a^2 = 4 \text{ or } a^2 = 5$

$a^2 = 4 \implies 5b^2 = 5 \implies b^2 = 1$

$a^2 = 5 \implies 5b^2 = 4 \implies b^2 = \dfrac45$

Only the first case leads to integer coefficients. Since $ab=-2$ , one of $a$ or $b$ must be negative. We have

$a^2 = 4 \implies a = 2 \text{ or } a = -2$

Now if $a=2$ , then $b=-1$ , and

$\sqrt{9 - 4\sqrt5} = 2 - \sqrt5$

However, $\sqrt5 > \sqrt4 = 2$ , so $2-\sqrt5$ is negative, so we don't want this.

Instead, if $a=-2$ , then $b=1$ , and thus

$\sqrt{9 - 4\sqrt5} = -2 + \sqrt5$

Then our target expression evaluates to

$\sqrt x - \dfrac1{\sqrt x} = -2 + \sqrt5 - \dfrac1{-2 + \sqrt5} \\\\ ~~~~~~~~~~~~ = -2 + \sqrt5 - \dfrac{-2 - \sqrt5}{(-2)^2 - \left(\sqrt5\right)^2} \\\\ ~~~~~~~~~~~~ = -2 + \sqrt5 + \dfrac{2 + \sqrt5}{4 - 5} \\\\ ~~~~~~~~~~~~ = -2 + \sqrt5 - (2 + \sqrt5) = \boxed{-4}$
