I believe when it's a fraction.
Answer:
x = 3 ± 
or
x = 3 +
, x = 3 - 
Step-by-step explanation:
given f(x) = 2(x - 3)^2 - 8, find when f(x) = 40
So, we plug in 40 for f(x) in the 1st equation and solve for x. (Aim to got x on its own)
40 = 2 (x - 3)^2 - 8
+ 8 + 8
-----------------------------
48 = 2 (x - 3)^2
/2 /2
-----------------------------
24 = (x - 3)^2
square root both sides
--------------------
= x - 3
x = 3 ± 
Is there more option choices since the ones that are visible rent correct
Maybe upload an image of the choice rather than text since it’s unreadable
Any number that is less than 2 will work. It is impossible to find the square root of a negative number (you can only get imaginary number) since anything square is a positive number.
PS. If you are confused by the answer, just ask me.
