Question

Use a table of values to find the solution to the equation ƒ(x ) = h(x ) where f(x)=1/1x and h(x ) = 2x + 3.

Show your work

Answer 1

you know the values of functions and so you need to solve the equation
1/x=2x+3

Answer 2

is 1/1x the 1/x?

Answer 3

1/1x and 1/x is he same @ksanka

Answer 4

@ksanka can you please help me?

Answer 5

1/x

Answer 6

isolate the variable.
1/x-2x-3=0
then \[(1-2x^2-3x)/x=0\]

Answer 7

-2x^2-3x+1=0
\[2x^2+3x-1=0\]
use quadratics formula to find the roots

Answer 8

1/x=2x+3
1= 2x^2 + 3x
2x^2 + 3x - 1 = 0

Answer 9

\[x=\frac{ b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{ 2a }\]

Answer 10

use this formula to calculate the roots.

Answer 11

there has to be two solutions.

Answer 12

it says to use a table of values, do you mean

Answer 13

i really dont understand what that means either @perl

Answer 14

you could graph a table of values and see where they are closest

Answer 15

for what x value are the y values closest

Answer 16

Im not sure how to do that @perl

Answer 17

I think they mean to create a table of values and find the value of x when f(x)=h(x)

Answer 18

so first calclulate the roots and then create a table with the values of x close to the roots
