1. Problem Description

The problem states that g=h45+hg = \sqrt{\frac{h-4}{5+h}}.
(a) We need to find the value of gg when h=20h=20.
(b) We need to express hh in terms of gg.

2. Solution Steps

(a) Substituting h=20h=20 into the given equation:
g=2045+20g = \sqrt{\frac{20-4}{5+20}}
g=1625g = \sqrt{\frac{16}{25}}
g=1625g = \frac{\sqrt{16}}{\sqrt{25}}
g=45g = \frac{4}{5}
(b) To express hh in terms of gg, we start with the given equation:
g=h45+hg = \sqrt{\frac{h-4}{5+h}}
Squaring both sides gives:
g2=h45+hg^2 = \frac{h-4}{5+h}
Multiplying both sides by (5+h)(5+h):
g2(5+h)=h4g^2(5+h) = h-4
5g2+hg2=h45g^2 + hg^2 = h-4
Rearrange the equation to isolate hh:
hg2h=45g2hg^2 - h = -4 - 5g^2
Factor out hh on the left side:
h(g21)=45g2h(g^2 - 1) = -4 - 5g^2
Divide both sides by (g21)(g^2 - 1):
h=45g2g21h = \frac{-4 - 5g^2}{g^2 - 1}
h=(4+5g2)g21h = \frac{-(4 + 5g^2)}{g^2 - 1}
h=4+5g21g2h = \frac{4 + 5g^2}{1 - g^2}

3. Final Answer

(a) g=45g = \frac{4}{5}
(b) h=4+5g21g2h = \frac{4 + 5g^2}{1 - g^2}
