Answer:
x = sqrt(3)/5 - 9/5 or x = -9/5 - sqrt(3)/5
Step-by-step explanation by completing the square:
Solve for x over the real numbers:
4 (5 x + 9)^2 - 33 = -21
Add 33 to both sides:
4 (5 x + 9)^2 = 12
Divide both sides by 4:
(5 x + 9)^2 = 3
Take the square root of both sides:
5 x + 9 = sqrt(3) or 5 x + 9 = -sqrt(3)
Subtract 9 from both sides:
5 x = sqrt(3) - 9 or 5 x + 9 = -sqrt(3)
Divide both sides by 5:
x = sqrt(3)/5 - 9/5 or 5 x + 9 = -sqrt(3)
Subtract 9 from both sides:
x = sqrt(3)/5 - 9/5 or 5 x = -9 - sqrt(3)
Divide both sides by 5:
Answer: x = sqrt(3)/5 - 9/5 or x = -9/5 - sqrt(3)/5
Answer:
Part A) x = -3
Part B) x = 1, x = -7
Part C) x < -7
Part D) 2
Step-by-step explanation:
<h3>Part A)</h3>
2(x - 3) = 3x - 3
<em>open the parenthesis</em>
2 * x - 2 * 3 = 3x - 3
2x - 6 = 3x - 3
<em>subtract 2x from both sides</em>
2x - 2x - 6 = 3x - 2x - 3
-6 = x - 3
<em>add 3 to both sides</em>
-6 + 3 = x
-3 = x
<h3>
Part B)</h3>
|2x + 6| = 8
<em>split this into two equations:</em>
<em>2x + 6 = 8</em>
<em>&</em>
<em>2x + 6 = -8</em>
2x + 6 = 8
2x = 8-6
2x = 2
x = 1
2x + 6 = -8
2x = -8 - 6
2x = -14
x = -7
<h3>Part C)</h3>
-5(x + 1) > 30
<em>open the parenthesis</em>
-5x - 5 > 30
<em>add 5 to both sides</em>
-5x > 35
<em>divide both sides by -5</em>
x > -7
<em>since you divided by a negative, flip the sign.</em>
x < -7
<h3>
Part D)</h3>
f(x) = 4x - 3
<em>substitute x for 5</em>
5 = 4x - 3
5 + 3 = 4x
8 = 4x
2 = x

Answer:
f(x) = 52
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) does the same things as y, so when you get your answer, think of it as the value for y when x = - 4
The second thing you should know is that wherever you see an x on the right, you put in - 4
Let x = - 4
y = 2x^2 - 3x + 8
y = 2(-4)^2 - 3(-4) + 8
y = 2*16 - (-12) + 8
y = 32 + 12 + 8
y = 52
Be careful how you hand - 3x when -4 is put in for x. -3(-4) = 12 not - 12
f(-4) = 52
