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)
 
        
             
        
        
        
$6.50 per hour. 42.25/6.5=6.5
        
             
        
        
        
Swimmer a swims 100 meters, which is 100 1-meters, which is 100 
(1 yards +3.37 inches) = 100 yards + 337 inches.
1 yard is 3 feet, so 100 yards are 300 feet.
100 in is 8.33 feet so
337 in is (337*8.33)/100=28.07 feet
Swimmer b swims 100 yards, which is 300 feet
Swimmer a swam 28.07 feet.
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
y = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Divide both by 1/4
x = 1 when y = 32/3
When x = 1 1/8 = 9/8
y = 32/3 x 9/8
y = 12
