Since q(x) is inside p(x), find the x-value that results in q(x) = 1/4

so we conclude that

therefore

plug

into p( q(x) ) to get answer


3n+4=-5
do the opposite of adding 4. this means you have to subtract 4 from 4. whatever you do to the problem, you must do to the answer. now subtract 4 from -5.
-5-4=-9
since 4-4=0, we can take 4 out of the equation. now you have:
3n=-9
now divide -9 by 3
-9/3=-3
n=-3
hope this helps :)
Sorry it's quite complex, simplify then... had to use an nspire
1. x=1.22248
2. x=15624.8
3. x=0.057522 (shown in picture)
4. x=-0.732487
too bad i cant upload more than 1 pic
