Solve for x with steps.

Mathematics

Answer:

no real solution is the answer

If you have to list your extraneous solutions somewhere, that would be x=0.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cool thing here is the radical, the thing with the square root, is already isolate.

So we need to square both sides as a first step.  (Whenever you raise both sides to even power, you must definitely check your solutions as some might not actually be solutions to the original equation)

So upon squaring both sides I get:

x^4+16=(x^2-4)^2

Now I will write (x^2-4)^2 as (x^2-4)(x^2-4) and foil it!  This gives me:

x^4+16=x^4-8x^2+16

Subtract x^4 and 16 on both sides:

       0=-8x^2

Divide both sides by -8

      0=x^2

Therefore x=0.

0 isn't actually a solution though because when you plug it in you get 4=-4 which is not true.

Find the range of the function f(x)=(x-2)^2+2
kari74 [83]
The function is in vertex form of a quadratic function.
Vertex form is f(x)=a(x-h)^2+k
The vertex is (h, k)

In this case, our vertex is (2, 2). The a value is positive which means that the graph points up. Since the graph points up, the vertex is the minimum, the lowest point of the graph. The range refers to y-values, so the range of the function is y/y>2. It can also be written as 2≤y<span>≤positive infinity.</span>

Prove a/b is less than b/a when 0 &lt; a &lt;b
enyata [817]

\frac{a}{b} < \frac{b}{a} \implies \\ a^2 < b^2 \implies a-b

We are given that 0<a<b, which means that 0>-a>-b if you multiply it by -1, which means what's given by our inequality is true and we are done.
