What situation should be used to rewrite 16(x^3+1)^2 -22(x^3+1)-3=0 as a quadratic equation

Oliga [24]

$16(x^3+1)^2-22(x^3+1)-3=0$

Use substitution: $x^3+1=t$

$16t^2-22t-3=0\\\\16t^2-24t+2t-3=0\\\\8t(2t-3)+1(2t-3)=0\\\\(2t-3)(8t+1)=0\iff2t-3=0\ \vee\ 8t+1=0$

$2t-3=0\ \ \ |+3\\\\2t=3\ \ \ |:2\\\\t=\dfrac{3}{2}\\..............................\\8t+1=0\ \ \ \ |-1\\\\8t=-1\ \ \ \ |:8\\\\t=-\dfrac{1}{8}$

we're going back to substitution:

$x^3+1=\dfrac{3}{2}\ \vee\ x^3+1=-\dfrac{1}{8}\ \ \ \ |subtract\ 1\ from\ both\ sides\ of\ the\ equations\\\\x^3=\dfrac{1}{2}\ \vee\ x^3=-\dfrac{9}{8}\\\\x=\sqrt[3]{\dfrac{1}{2}}\ \vee\ x=\sqrt[3]{-\dfrac{9}{8}}$

$x=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt[3]2}\ \vee\ x=-\dfrac{\sqrt[3]9}{2}\\\\\boxed{x=\dfrac{\sqrt[3]4}{2}\ \vee\ x=-\dfrac{\sqrt[3]9}{2}}$

The equation f(x) = x – 5 translated 4 units to the left is g(x) = ?

muminat

Answer:

g(x)=(x+4)-5

Step-by-step explanation:

I don't explain well but bascially translated to the left is adding 4 in the x with a paranthesis. Right is negative
