solve

3x^2-9x+5<0

The solution to d LHS can beobtained by applying the Almighty formula hence we have:
(-(-9)+Or-SQRT(-9^2 - 4(3*5)))/2*3 this results to

(9+or- sqrt(81-60))/6 = (9+or-sqrt(21))/6 = (9+or-4.58)/6 therefore

x=2.26 or 0.74 inserting this into the equation we have

(x-2.26)(x-0.74)<0 hence,

x-2.26<0 and x<2.26  OR 
x-0.74<0 and x<0.74

N/B these result are to 2pd.

The solution you posted above is by no means Q.E.D my friend, please rethink your solution, or at least your presentation of it.

f(x) = x/(x+1) , g(x) = x10, h(x) = x + 3.

Find: f o g o h

pronunciation: f of g of h.

Hey, i don't know if i did that right, kind of confused by what u meant by f(x)=x/(x+1). is d slash supposed to be there or not?

hmm, aight, i thought the slash was an error, that am only multiplyin because of the parentheses.

ok, i guess it's this way:
f o g o h = f[x o x + 3]
              =f[x^2 + 3x]
              =x^2 + 3x/ x^2 + 3x + 1
             
hmm, can't break it down any further, is that right or what?

Oops, i've seen my mistake. . it's hard typin it out. am used to writing it.


f o g o h = f[x10 o x + 3]
              =f[x11 + 3x10]

a:

b/b1/3 = b2/3

multiplying the two, you get: a3/2 .b2/3

In fact an expression of the form 0 / 0 is said to be indeterminate. 0 / 0 is != 0.

TempleID: The above statement insults my little mathematical acumen! I tried rethinking and resolvine and got the solution to the LHS as still x = 2.2638 or 0.73634 . If we substitute into the problem we have:

(x-2.2638)(x-0.73634)<0

N/D.  All terms in the question is reduced by 5
I stop there in order not to repear myselfe. Could you please profer solution or atleast an hint to the solution?

Thank you.

Oh! Don't get me wrong, it's not a calculatory error.  The error is just in your presentation of the answers.
You posted x<2.26 and x <0.736

The solution is {x| 0.736 <x<2.264)

Hi MyTempID is there a show working to this as it appears am not yet com4table with the solution that
x>0.736.

When you solved that equation for x,  you pretty much found the critical values of the function.  In short, you needed to test your solutions to see which ones are valid for x >0 or x < 0.

2x^2 +5e^2x+ln7x

The question is not as complicated as it looks at first glance.

break the equation into 2 parts i.e

Part A is  2x^2  which integrates into 2(x^3)/3

Part B is 5e^2x+ln7x  i am assuming you mean 5e^(2x+ln 7x) because that is the only thing that makes the equation difficult to integrate.

we can write part B as 5e^2x (e^ln7x) now applying integration by parts which is u∫dv =uv - v∫du

let                             5e^2x = dv      and                 e^ln7x = u

it follows that if         u = e^ln 7x
then                       ln u = ln 7x             (Taking antilog of both sides)
                             du/u = dx/x             (Obtained by letting 7x = k. dk/dx = 7  & du/dk = u/k therefore  du/dx = dk.dk/dx )
 therefore              du    = 7 dx             ( u = 7x)
also to obtain v we integrate  5e^2x
therefore                   v  = 5/2 .e^2x

Part B becomes
           ∫5e^2x (e^ln7x) =  (e^ln7x) 5/2e^2x  - ∫ 5/2e^2x .7dx
which after integrating becomes               = (e^ln7x) 5/2e^2x  - (35/4) e^2x

Joining parts A & B together we obtain:  2(x^3)/3 + (e^ln7x) 5/2e^2x  - (35/4) e^2x  which is the solution.

i have tried solving this Nella and i seem to be getting an impossible situation
I don't know if iam the one wrong.
But this is how  i have tried to solve it.


sqrt(x-2) = sqrt(x+1) - 3
collecting like terms,
sqrt(x-2)- sqrt(x+1)= -3
((x-2) - (x+1))^1/2 = -3
Squaring both sides
(x-2) - (x+1) = 9
x-2-x-1= 9
This doesn't look good from here.
Guys correct my mistakes
