Answer:

The x-intercept of the function are at (\frac{1 + \sqrt{57}}{2}, 0) and (\frac{1 - \sqrt{57}}{2}, 0).

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is f(x) = x² + 3x + 2 - 4x - 16

Now, we have to find the x-intercept of this function.

So, at x-intercept y = f(x) = 0.

Then, x² + 3x + 2 - 4x - 16 = 0

⇒ x² - x - 14 = 0

The left hand side can not be factorized. So, apply Sridhar Acharya's formula.

Therefore, x = \frac{-(- 1) + \sqrt{(-1)^{2} - 4(1) (- 14) } }{2(1)} and  

x = \frac{-(- 1) - \sqrt{(-1)^{2} - 4(1) (- 14) } }{2(1)}

⇒ x = \frac{1 + \sqrt{57} }{2} and x = \frac{1 - \sqrt{57} }{2}  

Therefore, the x-intercept of the function are at (\frac{1 + \sqrt{57}}{2}, 0) and (\frac{1 - \sqrt{57}}{2}, 0). (Answer)

Given that f(x) = 2x2 − 96, find x.
NISA [10]
F(x)=2x(2)−96

Step 1: Add -4x to both sides.

xf+ −4x = 4x−96+ −4x

xf −4x= −96

Step 2: Factor out variable x.

x(f−4)= −96

Step 3: Divide both sides by f-4.

x(f−4)/ f−4 = −96/ f−4

x= −96/f−4

Answer:

x= −96/ f−4
