question 76

Multiple Choice

Solve for the indicated variable. Assume the variable you are solving for must be greater than 0.
-A $$A = w \left( \frac { p - 2 w } { 2 } \right) , \text { for } w$$

• A) \[w = \frac { p + \sqrt { p ^ { 2 } - 16 A } } { 4 }\]
• B) \[w = \frac { 2 p + \sqrt { p ^ { 2 } - 16 A } } { 4 }\]
• C) \[w = \frac { - 2 p + \sqrt { p ^ { 2 } + 16 A } } { 4 }\]
• D) \[w = \frac { p + ( p - 4 \sqrt { \mathrm { A } } ) } { 2 }\]
