I read this as -5e⁻⁴ˣ⁺²+3=½log₁₀(x²+1).
If this is not right the steps below can guide you to a possible solution when the correct formula is used.
My calculator is a Casio fx-85GT PLUS which has a function facility (MODE 3: TABLE).
I input the function: -5e⁻⁴ˣ⁺²+3-½log₁₀(x²+1). I assumed that log was log to base 10 rather than natural log ln.
The facility asks me to input a start value, end value and step value. I chose -10, 10 and 1 initially.
After a few seconds of evaluating a table of results the calculator showed me the results of plugging in x=-10 up to 10 in steps of 1.
The results showed the evaluation for each of the 21 values and I looked for the sign of the result to change.
For x=0 the result was -33.95 approx and for x=1 it was 2.1728 approx. So between 0 and 1 there is a zero, a solution for x.
I returned to the function and changed the parameters to start=0, end=1, step=0.1 to begin the next evaluation.
This time the sign change occurred between x=0.6 and 0.7.
I returned to the function with parameters: start=0.6, end=0.7, step=0.01.
The sign change occurred between 0.63 and 0.64, the start and end parameters with step=0.001 for the next iteration.
The solution is between 0.633 and 0.634.
Repeat the process one more time with step=0.0001. The sign change was between 0.6338 and 0.6339 so the solution to three dec places is 0.634.
Answer:
x = 2, x = -6
Step-by-step explanation:
Subtract 8 from both sides.
Simplify.
Solve with quadratic formula.
a = 1
b = 4
c = -12
I do not have time to show work for quadratic formula parts.
I am so sorry for this inconvenience.
Possible unit is m³
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
- The possible unit for volume of a cone is m³
- Volume of a cone = Base area × Height
- Here unit for volume will be square units and that of height will be in units. Together, they form cubic units.
- In the given options, the only unit that is in cubic form is m³
