Common questions

Powered by AI

The points of intersection occur where cos(x) = x^2 + 720. This equation doesn't have elementary analytical solutions, so numerical methods or graphing are needed to approximate x-values, typically showing solutions around x = ±270 .

Rewrite f(x) = x(6 - x)(x + 2) - 2 = 0, which simplifies to x^3 + 8x - 2 = 0. Solving the cubic equation typically requires factoring or using numerical methods, but integer solutions often involve testing small values. Testing finds x = 1 satisfies it, so x = 1 is a root .

To find the range of f(x) = 2x - 3 for the domain {0, 1, 2}, evaluate the function at each domain value: f(0) = 2(0) - 3 = -3, f(1) = 2(1) - 3 = -1, and f(2) = 2(2) - 3 = 1. Thus, the range is {-3, -1, 1} .

The asymptotes occur where the denominator is zero: x^2 - 4 = 0 results in x = ±2, which are the vertical asymptotes. For horizontal asymptotes, divide the leading terms: lim x → ±∞ f(x) = 1 (since the degree of the numerator equals the degree of the denominator), hence y = 1 is a horizontal asymptote .

f(x) = (x^2 - 5)/(x - 2) has a vertical asymptote at x = 2, suggesting the range of f(x) includes all real numbers except the horizontal asymptote. Since the function's degree indicates no vertical asymptote in the range, the k values not in (-∞, ∞) are excluded, commonly the point at the break (e.g., specific undefined points).

To find the value of k such that y = k intersects the curve y = x^4 - 2x three times, solve x^4 - 2x = k. For three intersections, analyze the derivatives and symmetry for intersection points and check roots. Typically, intermediate k values around local extrema offer three solutions .

For p(x) = x and q(x) = x, calculating inverses involves replacing x with y and solving, resulting in y = x. Therefore, p^-1(x) = p(x) and q^-1(x) = q(x). Identity functions inherently possess this property as each input maps directly to itself .

To find the inverse, swap x and y: y = 4 - 3x becomes x = 4 - 3y. Solving for y gives y = (4 - x)/3, hence g^-1(x) = (4 - x)/3 .

Evaluate f(x) = log(x) at the endpoints of the domain: f(1) = log(1) = 0 and f(5) = log(5) ≈ 0.698. The continuous nature of log ensures f(x) takes values from 0 to 0.698, so the range of f(x) is [0, 0.698].

For f(x) = x^2 - 2x, complete the square to find symmetry: f(x) = (x - 1)^2 - 1. Its vertex at (1, -1) indicates a vertical line of symmetry x = 1, illustrating reflectional symmetry on the graph's parabola .
