Answer
Solve the equations and inequality as follows:
1. \( x(x-1)=0 \) has solutions \( x=0 \) and \( x=1 \).
2. \( 2x^{2}-4x-5=0 \) has solutions \( x \approx 2.56 \) and \( x \approx -0.56 \).
3. \( 5^{x}=\frac{1}{125} \) has solution \( x=-3 \).
4. \( (x-3)(2-x)>0 \) is true for \( 2 < x < 3 \).
For the functions:
1. \( g(x) \) is undefined when \( x = 3 \).
2. \( f(x)=g(x) \) when \( x = 1 \).
Solution
Solve the equation \( x(x-1)=0 \).
Solve the quadratic equation by following steps:
- step0: Solve by factoring:
\(x\left(x-1\right)=0\)
- step1: Separate into possible cases:
\(\begin{align}&x-1=0\\&x=0\end{align}\)
- step2: Solve the equation:
\(\begin{align}&x=1\\&x=0\end{align}\)
- step3: Rewrite:
\(x_{1}=0,x_{2}=1\)
Solve the equation \( 2x^{2}-4x-5=0 \).
Solve the quadratic equation by following steps:
- step0: Solve using the quadratic formula:
\(2x^{2}-4x-5=0\)
- step1: Solve using the quadratic formula:
\(x=\frac{4\pm \sqrt{\left(-4\right)^{2}-4\times 2\left(-5\right)}}{2\times 2}\)
- step2: Simplify the expression:
\(x=\frac{4\pm \sqrt{\left(-4\right)^{2}-4\times 2\left(-5\right)}}{4}\)
- step3: Simplify the expression:
\(x=\frac{4\pm \sqrt{56}}{4}\)
- step4: Simplify the expression:
\(x=\frac{4\pm 2\sqrt{14}}{4}\)
- step5: Separate into possible cases:
\(\begin{align}&x=\frac{4+2\sqrt{14}}{4}\\&x=\frac{4-2\sqrt{14}}{4}\end{align}\)
- step6: Simplify the expression:
\(\begin{align}&x=\frac{2+\sqrt{14}}{2}\\&x=\frac{4-2\sqrt{14}}{4}\end{align}\)
- step7: Simplify the expression:
\(\begin{align}&x=\frac{2+\sqrt{14}}{2}\\&x=\frac{2-\sqrt{14}}{2}\end{align}\)
- step8: Rewrite:
\(x_{1}=\frac{2-\sqrt{14}}{2},x_{2}=\frac{2+\sqrt{14}}{2}\)
Solve the equation \( 5^{x}=\frac{1}{125} \).
Solve the equation by following steps:
- step0: Solve for \(x\):
\(5^{x}=\frac{1}{125}\)
- step1: Rewrite in exponential form:
\(5^{x}=5^{-3}\)
- step2: Set the exponents equal:
\(x=-3\)
The inequality \( (x-3)(2-x)>0 \) cannot be solved using the provided method.
Given \( f(x)=x+1 \) and \( g(x)=\frac{-4}{x-3} \):
1. For which values of \( x \) will \( g(x) \) be undefined?
\( g(x) \) will be undefined when the denominator \( x-3 \) is equal to zero. Therefore, \( g(x) \) will be undefined when \( x = 3 \).
2. Solve for \( x \) if \( f(x)=g(x) \):
\( f(x) = g(x) \) implies \( x+1 = \frac{-4}{x-3} \). To solve for \( x \), we can cross multiply and solve the resulting equation.
Solve the equation by following steps:
- step0: Solve for \(x\):
\(x+1=\frac{-4}{x-3}\)
- step1: Find the domain:
\(x+1=\frac{-4}{x-3},x\neq 3\)
- step2: Rewrite the fraction:
\(x+1=-\frac{4}{x-3}\)
- step3: Multiply both sides of the equation by LCD:
\(\left(x+1\right)\left(x-3\right)=-\frac{4}{x-3}\times \left(x-3\right)\)
- step4: Simplify the equation:
\(x^{2}-2x-3=-4\)
- step5: Move the expression to the left side:
\(x^{2}-2x-3-\left(-4\right)=0\)
- step6: Subtract the numbers:
\(x^{2}-2x+1=0\)
- step7: Factor the expression:
\(\left(x-1\right)^{2}=0\)
- step8: Simplify the expression:
\(x-1=0\)
- step9: Move the constant to the right side:
\(x=0+1\)
- step10: Remove 0:
\(x=1\)
- step11: Check if the solution is in the defined range:
\(x=1,x\neq 3\)
- step12: Find the intersection:
\(x=1\)
Therefore, the solution to the equation \( f(x)=g(x) \) is \( x = 1 \).
