Fun math problem if you are bored?
Hello,
DISCLAIMER:
I am not trying to get my homework done. This problem is provided as it is, and I do have the answer. So it is a challenge for anyone. Best answer will be awarded in approximatively 8 hours. Have fun gals and guys!
= = = = = = = =
1. Solve the following equation
√(x + 4) – √(x – 1) = 5
though the standard method.
= = = = = = = =
2. Find another simpler and faster way to mathematically solve
√(x + 4) – √(x – 1) = 5
with no need to check for extraneous results.
Hint: 5 = 4 + 1
= = = = = = = =
3. By extending this second method, solve
√(x + 4) – √(x – 1) = 10
Hint: 10 = 2×5
= = = = = = = =
4. Generalizing, give the full general solution to
√(x + A) – √(x – B) = C
where A, B and C are all real values.
