Type your answer into the box.

What is the value of [tex]$y$[/tex] in the formula shown when [tex]$x=\frac{4}{5}$[/tex]?

[tex]
y=\frac{4}{x}+\sqrt{x+0.2}-5x
[/tex]



Answer :

To find the value of [tex]\( y \)[/tex] when [tex]\( x = \frac{4}{5} \)[/tex], we will substitute [tex]\( x \)[/tex] into the given formula [tex]\( y = \frac{4}{x} + \sqrt{x + 0.2} - 5x \)[/tex].

1. Start with the formula:
[tex]\[ y = \frac{4}{x} + \sqrt{x + 0.2} - 5x \][/tex]

2. Substitute [tex]\( x = \frac{4}{5} \)[/tex] into the formula:
[tex]\[ y = \frac{4}{\frac{4}{5}} + \sqrt{\frac{4}{5} + 0.2} - 5 \left( \frac{4}{5} \right) \][/tex]

3. Simplify the fraction:
[tex]\[ \frac{4}{\frac{4}{5}} = 4 \cdot \frac{5}{4} = 5 \][/tex]

4. Add the fractions inside the square root:
[tex]\[ \frac{4}{5} + 0.2 = \frac{4}{5} + \frac{1}{5} = \frac{5}{5} = 1 \][/tex]

5. Calculate the square root:
[tex]\[ \sqrt{1} = 1 \][/tex]

6. Multiply and simplify the final term:
[tex]\[ 5 \left( \frac{4}{5} \right) = 4 \][/tex]

7. Plug all these simplified parts back into the equation:
[tex]\[ y = 5 + 1 - 4 \][/tex]

8. Perform the arithmetic operation to find [tex]\( y \)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ y = 5 + 1 - 4 = 2 \][/tex]

Therefore, the value of [tex]\( y \)[/tex] is:
[tex]\[ \boxed{2} \][/tex]
