Chapter 2: Problem 58

Use a graphing utility to find all real solutions. You may need to adjust the window size manually or use the ZOOMFIT feature to get a clear graph. $$\text { Solve } \sqrt{0.3 x+0.95}-\sqrt{0.75 x-0.5}=-0.3$$

Short Answer

Expert verified
The real solutions can be identified from the x-values of the points where the graph intersects the x-axis.

Step by step solution

01

Rewrite the equation

First, rewrite the original equation \(\sqrt{0.3 x+0.95}-\sqrt{0.75 x-0.5}=-0.3\) in a suitable format to be graphed. So it should be written as \[f(x) = \sqrt{0.3x + 0.95} - \sqrt{0.75x - 0.5} + 0.3\]. Notice that the graph of this function has to cross the x-axis at all real solutions of the original equation.
02

Graph the equation

Now using a graphing utility plot the function \(f(x)\). Be mindful in selecting a suitable window or zoom level to see when and where the graph cuts the x-axis.
03

Identify the real solutions

Identify the x-values where the graph of the function intersects the x-axis, like moving the cursor to the point of intersection or check 'Zeroes' from the menu of the graphing utility, depending on the tool used. These x-values will be the solutions for the original equation.

In Exercises \(97-100,\) let \(f(t)=-t^{2}\) and \(g(x)=x^{2}-1\). Find an expression for \((f \circ f)(t),\) and give the domain of \(f \circ f\).

This set of exercises will draw on the ideas presented in this section and your general math background. Without doing any calculations, explain why $$\sqrt{x+1}=-2$$ does not have a solution.

Let \(f(x)=a x+b\) and \(g(x)=c x+d,\) where \(a, b, c,\) and \(d\) are constants. Show that \((f+g)(x)\) and \((f-g)(x)\) also represent linear functions.

A rectangular fence is being constructed around a new play area at a local elementary school. If the school has 2000 feet of fencing available for the project, what is the maximum area that can be enclosed for the new play area?

The following table gives the average hotel room rate for selected years from 1990 to \(1999 .\) (Source:American Hotel and Motel Association) $$\begin{array}{cc}\text { Year } & \text { Rate (in dollars) } \\\\\hline 1990 & 57.96 \\\1992 & 58.91 \\\1994 & 62.86 \\\1996 & 70.93 \\\1998 & 78.62 \\\1999 & 81.33\end{array}$$ (a) What general trend do you notice in these figures? (b) Fit both a linear and a quadratic function to this set of points, using the number of years since 1990 as the independent variable. (c) Based on your answer to part (b), which function would you use to model this set of data, and why? (d) Using the quadratic model, find the year in which the average hotel room rate will be \(\$ 85\)
