If x = 512 for some x ( , 3 2 ), then 7x ( 13x2 + 13x2 ) + 7x ( 13x2 - 13x2 ) is equal to
- 5 13
- 6 26
- 4 26
- 1 13
Answer
(4) 1 13
Solution
Regrouping the expression:
( 7x 13x2 - 7x 13x2 ) + ( 7x 13x2 + 7x 13x2 )
= (7x - 13x2 ) + (7x - 13x2 ) = x2 + x2
x in the third quadrant with x = 512 x = - 513
x2 ( 2, 3 4 ) x2 > 0, x2 < 0
x2 = 1 - x2 = 1826 = 3 13
x2 = - 1 + x2 = - 826 = - 2 13
value = 3 13 - 2 13 = 1 13
