Algebra.Com's Answer #679260 by Boreal(15235)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! graph 4x-x^2 and look for the part where f(x) > 0. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "4x-x^2 must be greater than 0. ln (0) does not exist, nor does ln of a negative number \n" ); document.write( "Therefore, -x^2+4x=0 \n" ); document.write( "same as x^2-4x=0 \n" ); document.write( "x*(x-4)=0 \n" ); document.write( "x=0 (not allowed) \n" ); document.write( "x=4 (not allowed) \n" ); document.write( "Need to test x between 0 and 4.
