Math Problem Statement
Solution
Let's go through the math problem shown in the image.
We are given the function . There are four parts to the problem:
(a) Find the value of when :
Substituting into the equation:
So, the value of when is .
(b) What is ?
Substituting into the equation:
So, .
(c) What values of give a value of ?
We are solving for when . So, we set and solve for :
So, the values of are and .
(d) Are there any values of that give a value of ?
We are solving for when . Set :
Since has no real solutions (because the square of a real number cannot be negative), there are no real values of that give .
It seems like your answer to part (c) is correct but maybe incomplete in some detail on the platform, so double-check if the formatting or additional explanations are needed.
