Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

log₃[1 + log₃(2ˣ - 7)] = 1

log₃[1 + log₃(2ˣ - 7)] = log₃(3)

1 + log₃(2ˣ - 7) = 3

log₃(2ˣ - 7) = 2

log₃(2ˣ - 7) = log₃(3)²

2ˣ - 7 = 9

2ˣ = 9 + 7

2ˣ = 16

2ˣ = 2⁴

x = 4

By putting x = 4 in the original equation,

log₃[1 + log₃(2⁴ - 7)] = 1

log₃[1 + log₃(16 - 7)] = 1

log₃[1 + log₃(9)] = 1

log₃[1 + log₃(3)²] = 1

log₃[1 + 2] = 1

log₃[3] = 1

1 = 1

Therefore, x = 4 is not the extraneous solution and there is no error in your answer.

-/2 points

Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

Part 1) The domain of the quadratic function is the interval (-∞,∞)

Part 2) The range is the interval (-∞,1]

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$f(x)=-x^2+14x-48$

This is a quadratic equation (vertical parabola) open downward (the leading coefficient is negative)

step 1

Find the domain

The domain of a function is the set of all possible values of x

The domain of the quadratic function is the interval

(-∞,∞)

All real numbers

step 2

Find the range

The range of a function is the complete set of all possible resulting values of y, after we have substituted the domain.

we have a vertical parabola open downward

The vertex is a maximum

Let

(h,k) the vertex of the parabola

The range is the interval

(-∞,k]

Find the vertex

$f(x)=-x^2+14x-48$

Factor -1 the leading coefficient

$f(x)=-(x^2-14x)-48$

Complete the square

$f(x)=-(x^2-14x+49)-48+49$

$f(x)=-(x^2-14x+49)+1$

Rewrite as perfect squares

$f(x)=-(x-7)^2+1$

The vertex is the point (7,1)

therefore

The range is the interval

(-∞,1]
