There is a way to work it out with a pencil and paper, but that's too complicated
to try and explain with only text, like we have here.
I don't usually recommend this for things that can be done easily on paper ...
but for square roots, your best bet is to use a calculator.
The square root of 30 does not come out even. It starts out 5.477225...
and it keeps going and never ends.
The negative of 5.477225... is also a square root of 30. Every number has
two square roots ... the positive and negative of the same number.
Start with the general formula. The key word is difference. So the general formula is
D(x) = W(x) - R(x) Now substitute in the values for W(x) and R(x)
D(x) = 0.002x^3 - 0.01x^2 - (x^2 - 4x + 13) Be very careful about the sign in front of the brackets.
D(x) = 0.002x^3 - 0.01x^2 - x^2 + 4x - 13 Do you see what that minus sign did? It affected all 3 terms.
D(x) = 0.002x^3 - 1.01x^2 + 4x - 13 <em>Note: -0.01 - 1x^2 = - 1.01 x^2</em>
That gives you a clear cut answer
C<<<<< answer.
That sign is the worst part of the question. Make sure you understand what it did.
