Answer:

  x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume your functions are ...

  • f(x) = (1/2)(2^x)
  • g(x) = 5x+2

In general, mixed polynomial and exponential functions have no algebraic solution. That means we need to solve f(x) = g(x) using a table of values, or by graphing.

__

Attached is a graphical solution. It shows the largest value of x for which f(x) = g(x) is x=6.

<em>Check</em>: f(6) = 1/2(2^6) = 32 = g(6) = 5(6) +2

__

<em>Additional comment</em>

We can start with f(x) = g(x) and subtract g(x) from both sides of the equation. This gives ...

  f(x) -g(x) = 0

Many graphing calculators readily identify the zeros of a function or expression. We have used that fact to find the two values of x where these functions are equal: ≈0.32 and 6.

For x>6, the exponential function increases without bound, so the graphs never cross again. Likewise, for x < -0.32, the linear function decreases without bound, so the graphs never cross again.

The lower value of x where the graphs cross is an irrational number near −0.319886722135.

Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

As the function f(x) is an exponencial function, it will grow faster than g(x), that is a linear function.

For small values of x, we have that f(x) < g(x). For example:

f(1) = 1/2 * 2 = 1

g(1) = 5*1 + 2 = 7

f(2) = 1/2 * 4 = 2

g(2) = 5*2 + 4 = 14

So we just need to check some integer values and see when f(x) will be bigger than g(x). It will not be a big value, as the exponencial function grows very fast.

For x = 5, we have:

f(5) = 1/2 * 32 = 16

g(5) = 5*5 + 4 = 29

For x = 6, we have:

f(6) = 1/2 * 64 = 32

g(6) = 5*6 + 4 = 34

For x = 7, we have:

f(7) = 1/2 * 128 = 64

g(7) = 5*7 + 4 = 39

So the largest integer value of x for f(x) ≤ g(x) is x = 6.

Another way to solve this is by plotting both equations, and then checking where they cross, that is, where f(x) = g(x).

What are the coordinates of the image of vertex R after a reflection across the y-axis?
vfiekz [6]
Consider any point P(x, y) in the coordinate axis.

The reflection of this point across the y-axis is the point P'(-x, y).

(x, y) and (-x, y) are the 'mirror' images of each other, with the y'axis as the 'mirror'.

For example the coordinates of the image of P(4, 13) after the reflection across the y-axis is P'(-4, 13)

or, if P(-5, -9), then P'(5, -9)


Answer: if coordinates of V are (h, k), coordinates of V' are (-h, k)

Which is greater, a third of 36 or one-sixth of 138?​
finlep [7]

Answer:

one-sixth of 138

Step-by-step explanation:

36÷3=12. 138÷6=23

12<23

Therefore, one-sixth of 138 is greater than a third of 36.

Lapatulllka [165]
No because if you divide 1.25 by two to find out what the half is in 2.5, it would be .62… and since she wants to buy 2.5 pounds, you've already figured out the .5, so 1.25x2 + .62, it would be 3.12.
