Answer:

x = {-1/5, 1}

Step-by-step explanation:

(5x - 2)² - 1 = 8

Add 1 to both sides

(5x - 2)² = 9

Take the square root of both sides

5x - 2 = ±3

------------------------------

<u>Solution I</u> for 5x - 2 = +3

5x - 2 = 3

add 2 to both sides

5x = 5

Divide both sides by 5

x = 1

------------------------------

<u>Solution II</u> for 5x - 2 = -3

5x - 2 = -3

add 2 to both sides

5x = -1

Divide both sides by 5

x = -1/5

-------------------------------

x = {-1/5, 1}

Can anyone pls help me with this algebra question<br> click to see a picture of the problem
irinina [24]
From the given functions, it can be seen that the graph of g(x) represents a shift of 6 units to the left of the graph of f(x).

Given a function, f(x), a shift of k units to the left of f(x) is given by g(x + k).

Therefore, if g(x) = f(x + k), then k = 6.

The amount from greatest to least:

First, I would convert 1 16/25 to decimals to make the job easier. 1 16/25 as a decimal is 1.64. 1 2/3 as a decimal is 1.66.

From greatest to least in order:

1 2/3, 1.66, 1 16/25, and 1.06

Hope this helps :)
