<u>Given</u>:

The given function is f(x)=4x^2+2x+6

We need to determine the value of the discriminant f and also to determine the distinct real number zeros of f.

<u>Discriminant</u>:

The discriminant can be determined using the formula,

\Delta = b^2-4ac

Now, we shall determine the discriminant of the function f(x)=4x^2+2x+6

Substituting the values in the formula, we have;

\Delta=(2)^2-4(4)(6)

\Delta=4-96

\Delta=-92

Thus, the value of the discriminant of f is -92.

<u>Distinct roots:</u>

The distinct zeros of the function f can be determined by

(1) If \Delta>0, then the function has 2 real roots.

(2) If \Delta=0, then the function has 2 real roots ( or one repeated root).

(3) If \Delta, then the function has 2 imaginary roots (or no real roots).

Since, the discriminant is \Delta=-92 \ < \ 0 , then the function has no real roots  or 2 imaginary roots.

Thus, the function has 2 imaginary roots.

F:[1/2,infinity)—&gt;[3/4,infinity) <br> f(x)=x^2-x+1 <br> find the inverse of f(x);please explain
dexar [7]

Answer:

f^{-1}(x)=\frac{1}{2}+\sqrt{x-\frac{3}{4}}

Step-by-step explanation:

y=x^2-x+1

We want to solve for x.

I'm going to use completing the square.

Subtract 1 on both sides:

y-1=x^2-x

Add (-1/2)^2 on both sides:

y-1+(-1/2)^2=x^2-x+(-1/2)^2

This allows me to write the right hand side as a square.

y-1+1/4=(x-1/2)^2

y-3/4=(x-1/2)^2

Now remember we are solving for x so now we square root both sides:

\pm \sqrt{y-3/4}=x-1/2

The problem said the domain was 1/2 to infinity and the range was 3/4 to infinity.

This is only the right side of the parabola because of the domain restriction. We want x-1/2 to be positive.

That is we want:

\sqrt{y-3/4}=x-1/2

Add 1/2 on both sides:

1/2+\sqrt{y-3/4}=x

The last step is to switch x and y:

1/2+\sqrt{x-3/4}=y

y=1/2+\sqrt{x-3/4}

f^{-1}(x)=1/2+\sqrt{x-3/4}
