Start with -3x + 2 = -7
Subtract 2 from each side
-3x = -9
Divide each side by -3
x = 3
Use this rule: <em>(x^a)^b = x^ab</em>
3(x + 2)^3/5 + 2 = 27
Subtract 3 from both sides
3(x + 2)^3/5 = 27 - 3
Simplify 27 - 3 to 24
3(x + 2)^3/5 = 24
Divide both sides by 3
(x + 2)^3/5 = 24/3
Simplify 24/3 to 8
(x + 2)^3/5 = 8
Take the cube root of both sides
x + 2 = 3/5√8
Invert and multiply
x + 2 = 8^5/3
Calculate
x + 2 = 2^5
Simplify 2^5 to 32
x + 2 = 32
Subtract 2 from both sides
x = 32 - 2
Simplify 32 - 3 to 30
<u>x = 30</u>

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
9 sq units
Step-by-step explanation:
The main factor when x values are high is the nature of the function. For example, polynomial functions intrinsically grow slower than exponential functions when x is high. Also, the greater the degree of the polynomial, the more the function grows in absolute value as x goes to very large values.
In specific, this means that our 2 exponential functions grow faster than all the other functions (which are polynomial) and thus they take up the last seats. Also, 7^x grows slower than 8^x because the base is lower. Hence, the last is 8^x+3, the second to last is 7^x.
Now, we have that a polynomial of 2nd degree curves upwards faster than a linear polynomial when x is large. Hence, we have that the two 2nd degree polynomials will be growing faster than the 2 linear ones and hence we get that they fill in the middle boxes. Because x^2+4>x^2, we have that x^2+4 is the 4th from the top and x^2 is the 3rd from the top.
Finally, we need to check which of the remaining functions is larger. Now, 5x+3 is larger than 5x, so it goes to the 2nd box. Now we are done.
