-4x²+16x-24=-1(4x²-16x+24)=-4(x²-4x+6)
x²-4x+6 has no real roots. ☺☺☺☺

Let's complete the square (as this is actually how the quadratic formula is derived)

-4x^2+16x-24=0  make the leading coefficient equal to 1 by dividing the entire equation by -4

x^2-4x+6=0, move the constant to the other side by subtracting 6 from both sides

x^2-4x=-6, halve the linear coefficient, square it, then add it to both sides, (-4/2)^2=4

x^2-4x+4=-2  now the left side is a perfect square

(x-2)^2=-2  now take the square root of both sides

x-2=±i√2  note the imaginary unit i as there is no real square root of -2, now add 2 to both sides

x=2±i√2 so the factored quadratic is:

(x+2-i√2)(x+2+i√2)

Note that these are not real factors, if you were to graph the original equation, it will never intersect with the x-axis...

What is the true solution to 3 in 2 + in 8 = 2 in (4x)
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]
The first step for solving this equation is to determine the defined range.
3㏑(2) + ㏑(8) = 2㏑(4x), x > 0
Write the number 8 in exponential form.
3㏑(2) + ㏑(2³) = 2㏑(4x)
Using ㏑(a^{x}) = x × ㏑(a),, transform the expression.
3㏑(2) + 3㏑(2) = 2㏑(4x)
Now collect the like terms on the left side of the equation.
6㏑(2) = 2㏑(4x)
Switch the sides of the equation.
2㏑(4x) = 6㏑(2)
Using x × ㏑(a) = ㏑(a^{x}),, transform the expression on the left side of the equation.
㏑((4x)²) = 6㏑(2)
Using x × ㏑(a) = ㏑(a^{x}),, transform the expression on the right side of the equation.
㏑((4x)²) = ㏑(2^{6})
Since the bases of the logarithms are the same,, you need to set the arguments equal.
(4x)² = 2^{6}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both the positive and negative roots.
4x = +/- 8
Now separate the equation into 2 possible cases.
4x = 8
4x = -8
Solve the top equation for x.
x = 2
Solve the bottom equation for x.
x = 2
         , x > 0
x = -2
Lastly,, check if the solution is in the defined range to find your final answer.
x = 2
This means that the correct answer to your question is x = 2.
