For this case, the first thing we must do is define variables.
We have then:
x: number of cabins
y: number of campers
We now write the equation that models the problem:
We know that there are 148 campers.
Therefore, substituting y = 148 in the given equation we have:
From here, we clear the value of x:
Therefore, the number of full cabins is:
Answer:
The number of full cabins is:
<h3>Answer:</h3>
(x, y) ≈ (1.49021612010, 1.22074408461)
<h3>Explanation:</h3>This is best solved graphically or by some other machine method. The approximate solution (x=1.49, y=1.221) can be iterated by any of several approaches to refine the values to the ones given above. The values above were obtained using Newton's method iteration.
_____
Setting the y-values equal and squaring both sides of the equation gives ...
... √x = x² -1
... x = (x² -1)² = x⁴ -2x² +1 . . . . . square both sides
... x⁴ -2x² -x +1 = 0 . . . . . polynomial equation in standard form.
By Descarte's rule of signs, we know there are two positive real roots to this equation. From the graph, we know the other two roots are complex. The second positive real root is extraneous, corresponding to the negative branch of the square root function.
