Functions can be represented using equations, graphs and tables.
The function is given as:
When l = 1, we have:
When l = 2, we have:
When l = 3, we have:
When l = 4, we have:
Represent the above results as a table, we have:
<u>l a(l)</u>
1 0.5
2 2.0
3 4.5
4 8.0

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given expression is,
(2x - 1)² + 2(2x - 1) = (2x - 1)(2x + 1)
To prove this identity we will take the left hand side of the equation and will prove equal to the right side.
(2x - 1)² + 2(2x - 1) = (2x - 1)(2x + 1)
4x² - 4x + 1 + 4x - 2 = (2x - 1)(2x + 1)
4x² - 1 = (2x - 1)(2x + 1)
(2x - 1)(2x + 1) = (2x - 1)(2x + 1) [Since a² - b² = (a - b)(a + b)]
Here is one way to solve for x.
Step 1) 2x^2-7=9
Step 2) 2x^2-7+7=9+7
Step 3) 2x^2=16
Step 4) (2x^2)/2=16/2
Step 5) x^2=8
Step 6) sqrt(x^2)=sqrt(8)
Step 7) |x|=sqrt(8)
Step 8) x=sqrt(8) or x=-sqrt(8)
-------------------------------------
Below are explanations/reasons to each of the steps above.
Step 1) Original equation
Step 2) Add 7 to both sides
Step 3) Combine like terms
Step 4) Divide both sides by 2
Step 5) Simplify
Step 6) Apply the square root to both sides. The notation "sqrt" is shorthand for "square root"
Step 7) Use the rule that sqrt(x^2) = |x| for all real numbers x
Step 8) Use the rule that if |x| = k then x = k or x = -k for some fixed number k.
-------------------------------------
The two solutions are
x = sqrt(8) or x = -sqrt(8)
