OpenStudy (anonymous):
f(x)=2+4
jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
inside sqrt is just10 ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no 10+3x is sqrt
OpenStudy (anonymous):
-4 is outside
jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
so than sqrt(10+3x)=4 square both sides
10+3x=16
3x=6
x=2

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
ok ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
let me rewrite the function
jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
go
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[f\left( x \right)=\sqrt{10+3x}-4\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
does this help

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
yes than make f(x)=0
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok
jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
and this is understandably ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
x=0
OpenStudy (anonymous):
do I plug 0 in for x

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
not is zero check it what i have wrote before x=2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh ok
jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
now is right all ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
let me show you what I have
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[10+3x=16\]
3x=6
x=2

OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[\sqrt{10+3(2)}-4\]\[\sqrt{10+6}-4\]\
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[\sqrt{16}-4\]\[\sqrt{12}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[\approx3.46410\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
am I totally off the wall?
jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
not is right because you have said that 4 is outside of radical

OpenStudy (anonymous):
that is what I was thinking is what do I do with the 4
jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
and sqrt16=4 because 4*4=16
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so back where I put sqrt 16-4 iswrong
OpenStudy (anonymous):
where is my mistake
jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
yes there where you have wrote 10+3x=16 is right

OpenStudy (anonymous):
the rest is wrong?
jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
from this resulted that 3x=6 so x=2
jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
at finaly
jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
ok ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok

than good luck bye
OpenStudy (anonymous):
bye thank you

OpenStudy (zarkon):
if you want to find the fixed points you need to solve \[f(x)=x\]
OpenStudy (zarkon):
The answers are -3 and -2
