This is the same as our guests answer :)
now you need to check that this does not make the denominator 0
799.4^2-1600*799.4+890000 = about 250,000 so that is ok :)
x= 799.4
step by step?
((5/2*(2*x-1600)+3)/(sqrt((x^2)-(1600*x)+890000)))=0
Solve for x over the real numbers:
(3+5/2 (2 x-1600))/sqrt(x^2-1600 x+890000) = 0
Split into two equations:
(x^2-1600 x+890000)^(-1/2) = 0 or 3+5/2 (2 x-1600) = 0
Raise both sides to the power of -2:
x^2-1600 x+890000 = 0 or 3+5/2 (2 x-1600) = 0
Subtract 890000 from both sides:
x^2-1600 x = -890000 or 3+5/2 (2 x-1600) = 0
Add 640000 to both sides:
x^2-1600 x+640000 = -250000 or 3+5/2 (2 x-1600) = 0
Write the left hand side as a square:
(x-800)^2 = -250000 or 3+5/2 (2 x-1600) = 0
(x-800)^2 = -250000 has no solution since for all x on the real line, (x-800)^2 >=0 and -250000<0:
3+5/2 (2 x-1600) = 0
Expand out terms of the left hand side:
5 x-3997 = 0
Add 3997 to both sides:
5 x = 3997
Divide both sides by 5:
Answer: |
| x = 3997/5
