$\sqrt{\frac{x}{-4.9}} - \frac{x}{340} = 4.68$
The following is my work so far:
$\sqrt{\frac{x}{-4.9}} = 4.68 + \frac{x}{340}$ $\frac{x}{-4.9} = 21.9 + \frac{x^2}{115600} + \frac{3182.4x}{115600}$ $x^2 + 26774.2x + 2531640 = 0$
Using the quadratic formula, I get:
$x_1 = -94.9$ $x_2 = -26679.3$
However, the answer in my book only mentions $-94.9$. I checked a couple of online equation solvers also they only mention -94.9. Additionally, plugging in -26679.3 into the original equation does not work - however plugging it into the derived quadratic does. This must mean my derived quadratic equation is incorrect - does anyone have any idea why?
