Answer:

x = 38

Step-by-step explanation:

using the law of logarithms

• log_{b} x = n ⇔ x = b^{n}, hence

log_{4}(2x - 12) = 3 ⇒ 2x - 12 =  4^{3} = 64

add 12 to both sides

2x = 76 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 38

<u>Given</u>:

The given function is f(x)=4x^2+2x+6

We need to determine the value of the discriminant f and also to determine the distinct real number zeros of f.

<u>Discriminant</u>:

The discriminant can be determined using the formula,

\Delta = b^2-4ac

Now, we shall determine the discriminant of the function f(x)=4x^2+2x+6

Substituting the values in the formula, we have;

\Delta=(2)^2-4(4)(6)

\Delta=4-96

\Delta=-92

Thus, the value of the discriminant of f is -92.

<u>Distinct roots:</u>

The distinct zeros of the function f can be determined by

(1) If \Delta>0, then the function has 2 real roots.

(2) If \Delta=0, then the function has 2 real roots ( or one repeated root).

(3) If \Delta, then the function has 2 imaginary roots (or no real roots).

Since, the discriminant is \Delta=-92 \ < \ 0 , then the function has no real roots  or 2 imaginary roots.

Thus, the function has 2 imaginary roots.

I thought of a number, added 4 5/7 to it, and got the number 12 times as big as my original what was my number
Genrish500 [490]
Let's call the number you thought of n. Then what the two steps you took can be written as an equation:
n+4\frac{5}{7}=12n

Subtract n to get all of your variables to one side:
4\frac{5}{7}=11n

At this point, I recommend turning your mixed number into an improper fraction. It will make things easier later on:
\frac{33}{7}=11n

Now divide both sides by 11 to get the value of n:
\frac{3}{7}=n
