-3x/4 + 9/4 = (1/2)^x + 1
-3x/4 - 2^-x = -5/4
(Using log rules)
㏑|-3x/4| - ㏑|2^-x| = ㏑|-5/4|
㏑|3x/4| - x㏑|2| = ㏑|5/4|
e^㏑|3x/4| - e^㏑|2|x = e^㏑|5/4|
|3x/4| - 2x = 5/4
|3x| - 8x = 5
|3x-8x| = 5
|-5x| = 5
|5x| = 5
x=1, -1
Hmmm the y-intercept is at -2? what does that mean? well, is where the graph "intercepts" or touches the y-axis, and when that happens, x = 0, so the point is really ( 0 , -2 ).
and we know where the vertex is at. Let's assume a vertical parabola, in which case the squared variable is the "x".
