if f(x) = 13 when f(x)=5x -√8, find x.

Sagot :

Given that we have the function f(x) = 5x-√8, it is equal to 13 at some value of x. This relation can be written in equation as

[tex]5x-\sqrt[]{8}=13[/tex]

Move √8 to the other side of the equation so that only the term with x will be left on the left-hand side. We have

[tex]5x=13+\sqrt[]{8}[/tex]

Divide both sides by 5, we get

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{5x}{5}=\frac{13+\sqrt[]{8}}{5} \\ x=\frac{13+\sqrt[]{8}}{5} \end{gathered}[/tex]

The square root of 8 can be further simplified as

[tex]\sqrt[]{8}=\sqrt[]{4\cdot2}=2\sqrt[]{2}[/tex]

Hence, the value of x can also be rewritten as

[tex]x=\frac{13+2\sqrt[]{2}}{5}[/tex]

Thus, the value of x to satisfy f(x) = 13 when f(x)=5x -√8 is

[tex]x=\frac{13+\sqrt[]{8}}{5}=\frac{13+2\sqrt[]{2}}{5}=\frac{13}{5}+\frac{2\sqrt[]{2}}{5}[/tex]
