Use the method of completing the square to transform the quadratic equation into the equation form (x + p)2 = q.

-4 + 4x + x2 = 0
a) (x + 2)2 = 4
b) (x + 2)2 = -4
c) (x + 2)2 = 8
d) (x + 2)2 = -8

do you have a picture of the table

x =-.20752

step-by-step explanation:

4^(x+2)=12

4^(x+2)=12

take the log base 4 on each side

log 4 (4^(x+2) = log 4(12)

we know log b(a^y) = y log b (a)

(x+2) log 4(4) = log 4 (12)

x+2 = log 4 (12)

we know   logb c = loga c/loga b

we want to convert to base 10   so a = 10

by default, we do not write the 10   c = 4   and b = 10

log4 10 = log 12/log 4

log4 10 = log 12/ log 4

x+2 = log 12/ log 4

subtract 2 from each side

x +2 -2 = log 12/ log 4 -2

x = 1.79248125 -2

x =-.20752
