444..etc. etc. thats what i thought its simple really.
9x + 18 /4 + -5x + 24 / 4
Combinatorial Enumeration. That whole class was a rollercoaster ride of mind-blowing generating functions to prove crazy things. The exam had ridiculous questions like 'count the number of cactus trees with n vertices such that etc etc etc' and you'd do three pages of terrible terrible sums and algebra. Then your final answer would be something beautiful like n/2 and you'd breath a sigh of relief and thank the math gods.
Answer:
The solutions are x = 1.24 and x = -3.24
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi there!
First, let´s write the equation:
log[(x² + 2x -3)⁴] = 0
Apply the logarithm property: log(xᵃ) = a log(x)
4 log[(x² + 2x -3)⁴] = 0
Divide by 4 both sides
log(x² + 2x -3) = 0
if log(x² + 2x -3) = 0, then x² + 2x -3 = 1 because only log 1 = 0
x² + 2x -3 = 1
Subtract 1 at both sides of the equation
x² + 2x -4 = 0
Using the quadratic formula let´s solve this quadratic equation:
a = 1
b = 2
c = -4
x = [-b± √(b² - 4ac)]/2a
x = [-2 + √(4 - 4(-4)·1)]/2 = 1.24
and
x = [-2 - √(4 - 4(-4)·1)]/2 = -3.24
The solutions are x = 1.24 and x = -3.24
Have a nice day!
