Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the equation (x+1)^2-4(x+1)+2=0. Consider the substitution u = (x+1). Then the equation turns out to be u^2-4u+2=0

Recall that given a second degree polynomial of the form ax^2+bx+c =0 then its solutions are given by the expression

x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt[]{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

In our case, a = 1, b = -4 and c =2. Then the solutions are

u_1 = \frac{4+\sqrt[]{(-4)^2-4(2)}}{2} = 2 +\sqrt[]{2}

u_2 = \frac{4-\sqrt[]{(-4)^2-4(2)}}{2} = 2 -\sqrt[]{2}

We have that x = u-1. So the original solutions are

x_1 = 2 +\sqrt[]{2}-1 = 1 + \sqrt[]{2}

x_2 =2 -\sqrt[]{2} -1 = 1 - \sqrt[]{2}

Please help me <br>find f(x+h)​
Kay [80]

Answer:

f(x) = -2x+5

f(x+h) = -2x -2h +5

g(x) = -4x-2

g(x+h) = -4x -4h -2

h(x) = 4x^2+1

h(x+h) = 4(x+h)^2 +1 = 4x^2 +8xh + 4h^2 +1

Q(x) = -3x^2 +4

Q(x+h) = -3(x+h)^2 +4 = -3x^2 -3h^2 -6xh + 4
