Answer:

The minimum value of f(x) is -21 and it occurs at x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) =3x^2-6x-18

Factor out the greatest common factor out of the first two terms

f(x) =3(x^2-2x)-18

Complete the square

-2x/2 =-1  (-1)^2 = 1

Add 1  (But remember the 3 out front so we are really adding 3  so we need to subtract 3 to remain balanced)

f(x) = 3(x^2 -2x+1) -3 -18

f(x) = 3(x-1)^2 -21

This is vertex form

f(x) = a(x-h)^2 +k  where (h,k) is the vertex and a is a constant

The vertex is (1,-21)  

Since a > 0 this opens upward and the vertex is a minimum

The minimum value of f(x) is -21 and it occurs at x = 1

Solve the following exponential equations.<br> 10^(3x−5) = 7^x
zalisa [80]

Answer:

x = 2.3202

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation:

10^{(3x-5)} = 7^x

on taking log both sides, we get

\log(10^{(3x-5))} =\log(7^x)

now,

using the property of log function

log(aᵇ) = b × log(a)

therefore,

we get

(3x-5)log(10) = xlog(7)

now,

log(10) = 1

and

log(7) = 0.84509

thus,

( 3x - 5 ) × 1 = 0.84509x

or

3x - 0.84509x - 5 = 0

or

2.15491x = 5

or

x = 2.3202
