Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = 9x³ + 2x² - 5x + 4; g(x)=5x³ -7x + 4
Step 1. Calculate the difference between the functions
(a) Write the two functions, one above the other, in decreasing order of exponents.
ƒ(x) = 9x³ + 2x² - 5x + 4
g(x) = 5x³ - 7x + 4
(b) Create a subtraction problem using the two functions
ƒ(x) = 9x³ + 2x² - 5x + 4
-g(x) = <u>-(5x³ - 7x + 4)
</u>
ƒ(x) -g(x)=
(c). Subtract terms with the same exponent of x
ƒ(x) = 9x³ + 2x² - 5x + 4
-g(x) = <u>-(5x³ - 7x + 4)
</u>
ƒ(x) -g(x) = 4x³ + 2x² + 2x
Step 2. Factor the expression
y = 4x³ + 2x² + 2x
Factor 2x from each term
y = 2x(2x² + x + 1)
I solved this using a scientific calculator and in radians mode since the given x's is between 0 to 2π. After substitution, the correct pairs
are:
cos(x)tan(x) – ½ = 0
→ π/6 and 5π/6
cos(π/6)tan(π/6) – ½ = 0
cos(5π/6)tan(5π/6) – ½ = 0
sec(x)cot(x) + 2 =
0 → 7π/6 and 11π/6
sec(7π/6)cot(7π/6) + 2 = 0
sec(11π/6)cot(11π/6) + 2 = 0
sin(x)cot(x) +
1/sqrt2 = 0 → 3π/4 and 5π/4
sin(3π/4)cot(3π/4) + 1/sqrt2 = 0
sin(5π/4)cot(5π/4) + 1/sqrt2 = 0
csc(x)tan(x) – 2 = 0 → π/3 and 5π/3
csc(π/3)tan(π/3) – 2 = 0
csc(5π/3)tan(5π/3) – 2 = 0

Answer:
x ≈ 0.309906932381 or 4
Step-by-step explanation:
There are no algebraic methods of solving a mixed exponential and polynomial equation. The value of x can be found by guessing, or by other means such as trial and error or graphing.
Attached is a graph showing two solutions. x = 4 is the integer solution (2^4 = 4·4). The irrational solution is approximately x ≈ 0.309906932381. That precision is obtained by Newton's method iteration, easily done by a graphing calculator.
(x + 1)
As:
(2x + 3)(x + 1) = 2x2 + 2x + 3x + 3
= 2x2 + 5x + 3
