Q(x)= 1/2x - 3; q(x) =-4. Find the value of x

Mathematics
1 answer:
Lelu [443]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

q(x) =-5

Step-by-step explanation:

I am solving this using Function Notation.

We are given:

q(x)= \frac{1}{2}x - 3

While we are to find:

q(x) =-4

In Function Notation, replace all the "x" you see with the value you are given.

So, in this case,

q(x)= \frac{1}{2}x - 3\\\\=\frac{1}{2}x - 3

Would become

q(x)= \frac{1}{2}x - 3\\\\=\frac{1}{2}(-4) - 3

Now we can solve.

\frac{1}{2}(-4) - 3

Use PEMDAS; Parenthesis first;

\frac{1}{2}(-\frac{4}{1})

Cross divide: 1 cancels 1, -4 ÷ 2 = -2

Hence, we are left with

(-2) - 3

-5

Therefore, the value of x is -5

Please help me solve this for 15 points! <br><br>-x2 + 4x - 54 = 0​
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

x1 =2-5i*sqrt(2)

x2 =2+5i*sqrt(2)

Step-by-step explanation:

-x^2 +4x-54=0 (quadratic equation)

a=-1, b=4, c=-54

x1=(-b+sqrt(b^2-4ac))/2a

x1=(-4+sqrt(4^2 - 4*(-1)(-54))/2*(-1)

x1=(-4+sqrt(16-216))/(-2)

x1 =(-4+sqrt(-200))/(-2)

x1 =(-4+sqrt(200i^2))/(-2) i^2=-1

x1 =(-4+sqrt(100*2*i^2))/(-2)

x1 =(-4+10i*sqrt(2))/(-2)

x1 =2-5i*sqrt(2)

x2 =(-b-sqrt(b^2-4ac))/2a

x2 =(-4-10i*sqrt(2))/(-2)

x2 =2+5i*sqrt(2)

then it should be x/4>18

then you would times 18 by 4 and get

c as the answer
