first off, is noteworthy that's the graph of an exponential function, thus the function will be along the lines of g(x) = abˣ , now, what's "a" and "b" values?
well, let's take a peek when x = 0 and x = 1.

Answer:
i believe the answer is 2 and 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Hope that helps!
Please use " ^ " to indicate exponentiation: x^2 + 3x - 4 = 0
Here, a = 1, b = 3 and c = -4.
The formula for the discriminant is b^2 - 4(a)(c).
Substituting the given values of a, b and c, we get:
(3)^2 - 4(1)(-4)
Evaluating this, we get 9 + 16 = 25.
The discriminant is 25.
-3 plus or minus √25
Taking this further, x = ------------------------------------
2
-3 plus or minus 5
or: x = -------------------------------- => {-4, 1} (solutions)
2
False

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Method 1: Taking the log of both sides...
So take the log of both sides...
5^(2x + 1) = 25
log 5^(2x + 1) = log 25 <-- use property: log (a^x) = x log a...
(2x + 1)log 5 = log 25 <-- distribute log 5 inside the brackets...
(2x)log 5 + log 5 = log 25 <-- subtract log 5 both sides of the equation...
(2x)log 5 + log 5 - log 5 = log 25 - log 5
(2x)log 5 = log (25/5) <-- use property: log a - log b = log (a/b)
(2x)log 5 = log 5 <-- divide both sides by log 5
(2x)log 5 / log 5 = log 5 / log 5 <--- this equals 1..
2x = 1
x=1/2
Method 2
5^(2x+1)=5^2
2x+1=2
2x=1
x=1/2
