Answer:

x =1 x = -7

Step-by-step explanation:

|4x + 12| = 16

Absolute value equations have two solutions, one positive and one negative

4x+12 = 16 4x+12 = -16

Subtract 12 from each side

4x+12-12 = 16-12 4x+12-12 = -16-12

4x =4 4x =-28

Divide by 4

4x/4 = 4/4 4x/4 = -28/4

x =1 x = -7

Lim x-1 x³-2x²+3x-2/(2x^4-3x+1)

UkoKoshka [18]

Since the limit becomes the undetermined form

$\displaystyle \lim_{x\to 1} \dfrac{x^3-2x^2+3x-2}{2x^4-3x+1} \to \dfrac{0}{0}$

it means that both polynomials have a root at $x=1$ . So, we can fact both numerator and denominator:

$x^3-2x^2+3x-2 = (x-1)(x^2-x+2)$

$2x^4-3x+1 = (x-1)(2x^3+2x^2+2x-1)$

So, the fraction becomes

$\dfrac{(x-1)(x^2-x+2)}{(x-1)(2x^3+2x^2+2x-1)} = \dfrac{x^2-x+2}{2x^3+2x^2+2x-1}$

Now, as x approaches 1, you have no problems anymore:

$\displaystyle \lim_{x\to 1} \dfrac{x^2-x+2}{2x^3+2x^2+2x-1} \to \dfrac{2}{5}$
