2. Solve 3x2
x+ 1 = 5 2x+ 1
x1
3x2
x+ 1 = 5 2x+ 1
x1=(3x2)(x1) = 5(x+ 1)(x1) (2x+ 1)(x+ 1)
=3x25x+ 2 = 5x25(2x2+ 3x+ 1)
=3x25x+ 2 = 3x23x6
= 2x=8
=x= 4
3. For f(x) = x+1
x1, find asuch that f(a) = 4.
f(a) = 4 a+ 1
a1= 4
a+ 1 = 4(a1)
a+ 1 = 4a4

  1. Solve (^2)

x = 3

x = 3^ =⇒^ 2 = 3x =⇒ x =^23

  1. Solve (^3) x − 2

x + 1 = 5^ −^

2 x + 1 x − 1

3 x − 2 x + 1 = 5^ −^

2 x + 1 x − 1 =⇒^ (3x^ −^ 2)(x^ −^ 1) = 5(x^ + 1)(x^ −^ 1)^ −^ (2x^ + 1)(x^ + 1) =⇒ 3 x^2 − 5 x + 2 = 5x^2 − 5 − (2x^2 + 3x + 1) =⇒ 3 x^2 − 5 x + 2 = 3x^2 − 3 x − 6 =⇒ − 2 x = − 8 =⇒ x = 4

  1. For f (x) = x x+1− 1 , find a such that f (a) = 4.

f (a) = 4 ⇐⇒ a a^ + 1− 1 = 4 ⇐⇒ a + 1 = 4(a − 1) ⇐⇒ a + 1 = 4a − 4 ⇐⇒ a =^53
