Find x when: (2^x)(e^(3x+1))=10. Give your answer in the form (a + ln(b)) / (c + ln(d)) , where a,b,c,d are integers.

First notice x is currently written as a power of 2 and 3x + 1 is written as a power of e, so we are going to need to use some sort of log to start getting x on its own. You can take a clue from the question...

The function f is defined for all real values of x as f(x) = c + 8x - x^2, where c is a constant. Given that the range of f is f(x) <= 19, find the value of c. Given instead that ff(2) = 8, find the possible values of c.

We know -x^2 has a maximum point of 0 at x=0, and -x^2 dominates the behaviour of f. We complete the square on this eqn, so we have f(x) = -(x - 4)^2 + 16 + c. We note that g(x) = -(x - 4)^2 has a maximum of...
