Answer:
x=2.4650
Step-by-step explanation:
I assume that you mean
so let s use the ln() function
so x = ln(15)/ln(3)
x = 2.4650
If a function is defined as
where both are continuous functions, then
is also continuous where defined, i.e. where
So, in your case, this function is continous everywhere, except where
To solve this equation, we can use the formula
It means that, if the leading terms is 1, then the x coefficient is the opposite of the sum of the roots, and the constant term is the product of the roots.
So, we're looking for two terms whose sum is 7, and whose product is 12. These numbers are easily found to be 3 and 4.
So, this function is continuous for every real number different than 3 or 4.
So for this trinomial, I will be factoring by grouping. Firstly, what two terms have a product of 16x^2 and a sum of 10x? That would be 8x and 2x. Replace 10x with 2x + 8x:
Next, factor x^2 + 2x and 8x + 16 separately. Make sure that they have the same quantity inside the parentheses:
<u>Now you can rewrite this as , which is your final answer.</u>
