The answer would be -4.5/5. You would have to plot the number in between -2 and - 1 4/5. Hope this helps!
Answer:
x = 3 ± 
or
x = 3 +
, x = 3 - 
Step-by-step explanation:
given f(x) = 2(x - 3)^2 - 8, find when f(x) = 40
So, we plug in 40 for f(x) in the 1st equation and solve for x. (Aim to got x on its own)
40 = 2 (x - 3)^2 - 8
+ 8 + 8
-----------------------------
48 = 2 (x - 3)^2
/2 /2
-----------------------------
24 = (x - 3)^2
square root both sides
--------------------
= x - 3
x = 3 ±
