Principle: Law of Exponents - Combination of product to a power & power to a power. The first is when raising a product of two integers to a power, the power is distributed to each factor. In equation it is,
(xy)^a = (x^a)(y^a)
The latter is when raising the base with a power to a power, the base will remain the same and the powers will be multiplied. In equation it is,
(x^a)(x^b) = x^ab
Check:
f(x) = 5*(16)^.33x = 5*(8*2)^0.33x = 5*(8^0.33x)(2^0.33x) = 5*(2^x)*(2^0.33x) = 5*(2^1.33x)
f(x) = 2.3*(8^0.5x) = 2.3*(4*2)^0.5x = 2.3*(2^x)(2^0.5x) = 2.3*(2^1.5x)
f(x) = 81^0.25x = 3^x
f(x) = 0.75*(9*3)^0.5x = 0.75*(3^x)*(3^0.5x) = 0.75*3^1.5x
f(x) = 24^0.33x = (8*3)^0.33x = (2^x)*(3^0.33x)
Therefore, the answer is third equation.
<em>ANSWER: f(x) = 81^0.25x = 3^x</em>
divide the two:

Answer:
D: 5:2
Step-by-step explanation:
40:16 simplified is 5:2
Answer:
x = 2 + sqrt(5) or x = 2 - sqrt(5)
Step-by-step explanation using the quadratic formula:
Solve for x over the real numbers:
7 (x^2 - 4 x - 1) = 0
Divide both sides by 7:
x^2 - 4 x - 1 = 0
Add 1 to both sides:
x^2 - 4 x = 1
Add 4 to both sides:
x^2 - 4 x + 4 = 5
Write the left hand side as a square:
(x - 2)^2 = 5
Take the square root of both sides:
x - 2 = sqrt(5) or x - 2 = -sqrt(5)
Add 2 to both sides:
x = 2 + sqrt(5) or x - 2 = -sqrt(5)
Add 2 to both sides:
Answer: x = 2 + sqrt(5) or x = 2 - sqrt(5)
<h3><u>The x intercept is at (-7, 0).</u></h3><h3><u>The y intercept is at (0, 1).</u></h3>
To find both the x and the y intercept, we need to solve one at a time.
For the x intercept, we need to make the value of y equal to 0, and solve for x.
-x + 7y = 7
-x + 7(0) = 7
-x = 7
Multiply both sides by -1.
x = -7
The x intercept is -7.
Now for the y intercept.
-(0) + 7y = 7
7y = 7
Divide both sides by 1.
y = 1
The y intercept is at 0, 1.
