Given f(x) = 3x + 1, solve for x when f(x) = 7.

irakobra [83]

Answer:

f(7) = 22 or x =2

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 3x + 1
f(7) = 3(7) + 1
f(7) = 21 + 1
f(7) = 22

<u>Or if the equation meant it like this:</u>

f(x) = 3x + 1
7 = 3x + 1
6 = 3x
2 = x

5. Find the discriminant of 15x2 = 4x – 1 and describe

diamong [38]

Answer:

a) The discriminant of the equation = - 44

b)The nature of the roots will be imaginary.

c) $x = \frac{2 +\sqrt{11} i}{15} or, x = \frac{2 - \sqrt{11} i}{15}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the given expression is $15x^{2} = 4x -1$

or, $15x^{2} - 4x + 1 = 0$

Now the discriminant (D) of a quadratic equation $ax^{2} +b x + c = 0$

D = $b^{2} - 4ac = (-4)^{2} - 4(15) (1) = 16 - (60) = -44$

Hence, the discriminant of the equation = - 44

As D< 0, so the roots will be imaginary.

Now,by quadratic formula : $x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2} - 4ac} }{2a}$

So, here $x = \frac{-(-4) \pm \sqrt{D} }{2a} = \frac{4 \pm \sqrt{(-44 )} }{30}$

So, either $x = \frac{4 + \sqrt{(-44 )} }{30} or, x = \frac{4 - \sqrt{(-44 )} }{30}$

or, $x = \frac{2 +\sqrt{11} i}{15} or, x = \frac{2 - \sqrt{11} i}{15}$
