We are given :

Step 1: factor the part inside square root
The function given inside square root is of quadratic form.
So let us try to factorise it using AC method.
Here A*C = 4*25 = 100
so we have to find factors of 100 that add up to give -20.
the two factors are -10 and -10.
Rewriting the function :

=
=
=
Step 2:
Now we take square root of the factorised form

= 
Answer : (2x-5)
Answer:
If using simple interest, the formula is:
= Amount * ( 1 + rate * time)
= 20,000 * ( 1 + 4% * 5)
= $24,000
Interest = Balance after 5 years - Investment
= 24,000 - 20,000
= $4,000
Using Compound Interest:
= Amount * ( 1 + rate)^time
= 20,000 * ( 1 + 4%)⁵
= $24,333.06
Interest = 24,333.06 - 20,000
= $4,333.06
