The correct Answer is:
To solve the equation \((2x + \sqrt{4x^2 - 1})/(2x - \sqrt{4x^2 - 1}) = 4\) using properties of proportion, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Set up the equation We start with the given equation: \[ \frac{2x + \sqrt{4x^2 - 1}}{2x - \sqrt{4x^2 - 1}} = 4 \] ### Step 2: Cross-multiply Cross-multiplying gives us: \[ 2x + \sqrt{4x^2 - 1} = 4(2x - \sqrt{4x^2 - 1}) \] Expanding the right side: \[ 2x + \sqrt{4x^2 - 1} = 8x - 4\sqrt{4x^2 - 1} \] ### Step 3: Rearrange the equation Now, we will rearrange the equation to isolate the square root terms: \[ \sqrt{4x^2 - 1} + 4\sqrt{4x^2 - 1} = 8x - 2x \] This simplifies to: \[ 5\sqrt{4x^2 - 1} = 6x \] ### Step 4: Isolate the square root Now, divide both sides by 5: \[ \sqrt{4x^2 - 1} = \frac{6x}{5} \] ### Step 5: Square both sides Next, we square both sides to eliminate the square root: \[ 4x^2 - 1 = \left(\frac{6x}{5}\right)^2 \] This gives us: \[ 4x^2 - 1 = \frac{36x^2}{25} \] ### Step 6: Clear the fraction To eliminate the fraction, multiply through by 25: \[ 25(4x^2 - 1) = 36x^2 \] Expanding gives: \[ 100x^2 - 25 = 36x^2 \] ### Step 7: Rearrange the equation Now, we will rearrange the equation: \[ 100x^2 - 36x^2 = 25 \] This simplifies to: \[ 64x^2 = 25 \] ### Step 8: Solve for x Now, divide both sides by 64: \[ x^2 = \frac{25}{64} \] Taking the square root gives: \[ x = \frac{5}{8} \quad \text{(since x is positive)} \] ### Final Answer Thus, the solution for \(x\) is: \[ \boxed{\frac{5}{8}} \]
