Q. 7.5 Initial Assessment - Maths ACSFType your answer into the box.What is the value of y in the formula shown when x=54 ?y=□y=x4+x+0.2−5x(Select the spanner to use a calculator.)
Plug x=54: Plug x=54 into the formula y=x4+x+0.2−5x.y=(54)4+54+0.2−5×54
Simplify first term: Simplify the first term (54)4 by multiplying the numerator by the reciprocal of the denominator.y=5+(54)+0.2−5×54
Convert 0.2 to fraction: Convert 0.2 to a fraction to combine with (4)/(5). 0.2=(1)/(5)y=5+(4)/(5)+(1)/(5)−5×(4)/(5)
Add fractions in square root: Add the fractions inside the square root.y=5+(55)−5×54
Simplify square root: Simplify the square root of 55 which is 1.y = 5+1−5×54
Simplify last term: Simplify the last term 5×54.y=5+1−4
Perform subtraction: Perform the subtraction. y=6−4
Final calculation: Final calculation to find y.y=2
