√5 * (1/5)3x + 6.5 ≤ 0.2x(x + 4)     and we can write this as

 

√5 * (1/5)3x + 6.5 ≤ (1/5)x(x + 4)   let's just set this equal  and solve for x......

 

√5 *(1/5)3x + 6.5 = (1/5)x(x + 4)    divide both sides by (1/5)3x + 6.5

 

√5   = (1/5)x(x + 4) / (1/5)3x + 6.5    and we can write this as

 

√5  = (1/5)[ x (x + 4) - 3x - 6.5]       simplify the exponent

 

√5  = (1/5) [ x^2 + 4x - 3x - 6.5]

 

√5  = (1/5) [ x^2 + x - 6.5]     and we can write

 

5^(1/2)  =  (5^-1)^ [ x^2 + x - 6.5]      simplify, again

 

5^(1/2)  = (5)^ [-x^2 - x + 6.5]      note....now we can solve for the exponents since the bases are equal

 

(1/2)  = -x^2 - x + 6.5      multiply through by 2

 

1  = -2x^2 - 2x + 13        rearrange

 

2x^2 + 2x - 12  =  0     divide through by 2

 

x^2 +  x - 6  =  0     factor

 

(x + 3) ( x - 2)  = 0       setting each factor to 0, we have that

 

x = -3   or x = 2

 

Going back to the original inequality....our answers will either  come from these two intervals (inf, -3] U [2, inf)     or from this interval   [-3, 2] 

 

We can see if the last interval makes our original problem true by testing 0......if it makes the original problem true.....this is the solution interval

 

√5 * (1/5)3(0) + 6.5 ≤ 0.20(0 + 4)     ????

 

√5 * (1/5)^6.5 ≤   1   ??????

 

≈ 0.000143108... ≤  1    and this is true....so...the answer is    -3 ≤ x ≤  2

 

Note:   WolframAlpha confirms our solution  :

BINOMIALS

 

\binom30^2 + \binom31^2 + \binom32^2 + \binom33^2

 

\(\binom30^2 + \binom31^2 + \binom32^2 + \binom33^2\)

 

 

\binom{n}{0}^2 + \binom{n}{1}^2 + \cdots + \binom{n}{n}^2 = \text{ something}.

 

\(\binom{n}{0}^2 + \binom{n}{1}^2 + \cdots + \binom{n}{n}^2 = \text{ something}.\)

FRACTIONS

 

\cfrac   and    \dfrac

 

 

 

\cfrac{1}{1 + \cfrac{1}{2 + \cfrac{1}{1 + \cfrac{1}{2 + \dotsb}}}}

 

\(\cfrac{1}{1 + \cfrac{1}{2 + \cfrac{1}{1 + \cfrac{1}{2 + \dotsb}}}}\)

 

 

More here

http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/59747/proper-display-of-fractions

 

On that reference site there is also a \dfrac{}{} used.

 

2-\frac{2}{1-\left(\frac{2}{2-\frac{2}{x^2}}\right)}\quad

2-\dfrac{2}{1-\left(\dfrac{2}{2-\dfrac{2}{x^2}}\right)}\quad

2-\cfrac{2}{1-\left(\cfrac{2}{2-\cfrac{2}{x^2}}\right)}\quad

2-\dfrac{2}{1-\left(\cfrac{2}{2-\dfrac{2}{x^2}}\right)}

 

\(2-\frac{2}{1-\left(\frac{2}{2-\frac{2}{x^2}}\right)}\quad 2-\dfrac{2}{1-\left(\dfrac{2}{2-\dfrac{2}{x^2}}\right)}\quad 2-\cfrac{2}{1-\left(\cfrac{2}{2-\cfrac{2}{x^2}}\right)}\quad 2-\dfrac{2}{1-\left(\cfrac{2}{2-\dfrac{2}{x^2}}\right)}\)

 

 

Mmm,   I can't see the difference between the cfrac and the dfrac     :indecision
