Answer:
1/5
Step-by-step explanation:
Factor x² - 5x - 6
x² - 5x - 6 = (x + 1)(x - 6)

Cancel the common factor.

· 

Cancel the common factor.
1/5
Y = <span>b^x
when x = 1
y = b^1
y = b
Therefore, the value of b is the same as the value of y when x =1
From the graph,
When x = 1, y = 0.5
Therefore, b = 0.5
To confirm this
From the graph,
When x = -1, y = 2
Since </span>y = b^x<span>
2 = </span>b^-1
2 = 1/b
2b = 1
b = 0.5
When x = -2, y = 4
Since y = b^x
4 = b^-2
4 = 1/(b^2)
b^2 = 1/4
b = √(1/4)
b = 1/2
b = 0.5
Therefore, it is conformed that b = 0.5
<u>Corrected question :</u>
Solve the equation. Write your answer as an integer or simplified fraction.
<u>Required Solution :</u>
The given equation,
★ Multiplying -7 into (n - 2),
>> 8n - 7 × (n - 2) = 18
>> 8n - 7n + 14 = 18
★ On substracting 7n from 8n we gets,
>> n + 14 = 18
★ Now transposing 14 which is in L.H.S. into R.H.S. (Remember that sign would be . So 14 would be -14),
>> n = 18 - 14
>> n = 14
★ Therefore,
