The correct Answer is:
To solve the inequation \( 4^{-x + 0.5} - 7 \cdot 2^{-x} < 4 \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Rewrite the terms using base 2 We know that \( 4 = 2^2 \), so we can rewrite \( 4^{-x + 0.5} \) as follows: \[ 4^{-x + 0.5} = (2^2)^{-x + 0.5} = 2^{-2x + 1} = 2^{1 - 2x} \] Thus, the inequation becomes: \[ 2^{1 - 2x} - 7 \cdot 2^{-x} < 4 \] ### Step 2: Move 4 to the left side Rearranging the inequation gives us: \[ 2^{1 - 2x} - 7 \cdot 2^{-x} - 4 < 0 \] ### Step 3: Substitute \( t = 2^{-x} \) Let \( t = 2^{-x} \). Then \( 2^{1 - 2x} = 2 \cdot t^2 \) (since \( 2^{-2x} = (2^{-x})^2 = t^2 \)). The inequation now becomes: \[ 2t^2 - 7t - 4 < 0 \] ### Step 4: Factor the quadratic expression We need to factor \( 2t^2 - 7t - 4 \). To do this, we can use the quadratic formula \( t = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a} \): Here, \( a = 2, b = -7, c = -4 \): \[ b^2 - 4ac = (-7)^2 - 4 \cdot 2 \cdot (-4) = 49 + 32 = 81 \] Thus, the roots are: \[ t = \frac{7 \pm \sqrt{81}}{2 \cdot 2} = \frac{7 \pm 9}{4} \] Calculating the roots: \[ t_1 = \frac{16}{4} = 4, \quad t_2 = \frac{-2}{4} = -\frac{1}{2} \] ### Step 5: Set up the inequality The quadratic \( 2t^2 - 7t - 4 < 0 \) will be negative between its roots. Therefore, we have: \[ -\frac{1}{2} < t < 4 \] ### Step 6: Substitute back for \( t \) Since \( t = 2^{-x} \), we have: \[ -\frac{1}{2} < 2^{-x} < 4 \] The left part \( 2^{-x} > -\frac{1}{2} \) is always true since \( 2^{-x} \) is always positive. Now we solve the right part: \[ 2^{-x} < 4 \implies -x < \log_2(4) \implies -x < 2 \implies x > -2 \] ### Step 7: Combine the results Thus, we have: \[ x > -2 \quad \text{and} \quad 2^{-x} \text{ can never be } 0 \] So, the solution set is: \[ x < 0 \quad \text{and} \quad x > -2 \] This gives us the interval: \[ (-2, 0) \] ### Final Answer The solution of the inequation is: \[ \boxed{(-2, 0)} \]

To solve the inequation \( 4^{-x + 0.5} - 7 \cdot 2^{-x} < 4 \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Rewrite the terms using base 2 We know that \( 4 = 2^2 \), so we can rewrite \( 4^{-x + 0.5} \) as follows: \[ 4^{-x + 0.5} = (2^2)^{-x + 0.5} = 2^{-2x + 1} = 2^{1 - 2x} \] Thus, the inequation becomes: ...
