Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's organise our information :

  • the function is (1/2)x²+2x+3

we want to khow the value of x that gives us : (1/2)x²+2x+3=x+7

Now the trick is to write this expression as a quadratic equation with zero at one side :

  • (1/2)x²+2x+3=x+7
  • (1/2)x²+2x+3-x-7=0
  • (1/2)x²+x-4=0

Now let's solve this equation :

  • a= 1/2
  • b= 1
  • c= -4

Δ=1²-4*(1/2)*(-4)

 = 9

So we have two solutions :

  • [tex]\left \{ {{y=\frac{-1-3}{2*0.5} } \atop {x=\frac{-1+3}{2*0.5} }} \right.[/tex]
  • y= -4
  • x= 2

So the solutions are -4 and 2
