I read this as -5e⁻⁴ˣ⁺²+3=½log₁₀(x²+1).
If this is not right the steps below can guide you to a possible solution when the correct formula is used.
My calculator is a Casio fx-85GT PLUS which has a function facility (MODE 3: TABLE).
I input the function: -5e⁻⁴ˣ⁺²+3-½log₁₀(x²+1). I assumed that log was log to base 10 rather than natural log ln.
The facility asks me to input a start value, end value and step value. I chose -10, 10 and 1 initially.
After a few seconds of evaluating a table of results the calculator showed me the results of plugging in x=-10 up to 10 in steps of 1.
The results showed the evaluation for each of the 21 values and I looked for the sign of the result to change.
For x=0 the result was -33.95 approx and for x=1 it was 2.1728 approx. So between 0 and 1 there is a zero, a solution for x.
I returned to the function and changed the parameters to start=0, end=1, step=0.1 to begin the next evaluation.
This time the sign change occurred between x=0.6 and 0.7.
I returned to the function with parameters: start=0.6, end=0.7, step=0.01.
The sign change occurred between 0.63 and 0.64, the start and end parameters with step=0.001 for the next iteration.
The solution is between 0.633 and 0.634.
Repeat the process one more time with step=0.0001. The sign change was between 0.6338 and 0.6339 so the solution to three dec places is 0.634.

Let f be a function such that f(x)=2x-4 is defined on the domain.2 is less than or equal to x and x is lss than or equal to 6. T
STALIN [3.7K]
F(x) = 2x - 4
f(2 ≤ x) = 2(2 ≤ x) - 4
f(x ≥ 2) = 2(x ≥ 2) - 4
f(x ≥ 2) = 2(x) ≥ 2(2) - 4
f(x ≥ 2) = 2x ≥ 4 - 4
f(x ≥ 2) = 2x ≥ 0
f(x ≥ 2) = x ≥ 0

f(x) = 2x - 4
f(x ≤ 6) = 2(x ≤ 6) - 4
f(x ≤ 6) = 2(x) ≤ 2(6) - 4
f(x ≤ 6) = 2x ≤ 12 - 4
f(x ≤ 6) = 2x ≤ 8
f(x ≤ 6) = x ≤ 4
