C=3 that’s the answer I think
X = 0.72423357
"Create equivalent expressions in the equation that all have equal bases, then solve for x"
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Congruent Triangles</u>
The figure shows two triangles FCD and FED. One of their sides is the radius of the circle, they both form a 90° angle with the line CD and ED and they share the same segment FD.
Thus, both triangles are congruent and we have the length of a side (12 units), one common side (the hypotenuse) and one unknown leg that must be equal. Therefore
Solving
The required side FD is the hypotenuse of any of the triangles. The unknown leg can be calculated by
Or
Thus
Solving
[x] represents floor function also called as Greatest integer function.
Floor function is the function that takes as input a real number and gives as output the greatest integer less than or equal to.
like [1.5]=1
[0.7]=0
[-0.3]=-1
Now we have to find set of x-values which satisfies equation [x-1]=[x]
Due to -1 in [x-1], it always produces output value one less than value of [x]
for example when x=0.5 then [x]=[0.5]=0, [x-1]=[0.5-1]=[-0.5]=-1
when x=1.5 then [x]=[1.5]=1, [x-1]=[1.5-1]=[0.5]=0
when x=3 then [x]=[3]=3, [x-1]=[3-1]=[2]=2
From above results we can see that there is no value of x which satisfies the given equation [x-1]=[x]
Hence there is NO solution.
