If 5^3b-1 = 5^b-3 what is the value of b?

Mathematics

Tanzania [10]4 years ago
7 0

Answer:

  b = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Your equation is ...

  (5^3)b -1 = 5^b -3

This is a mix of exponential and linear terms, and cannot be solved algebraically.

___

We suspect you might mean ...

  5^(3b -1) = 5^(b -3)

We can equate the exponents to find a value for b:

  3b -1 = b -3

  2b = -2 . . . . add 1-b to both sides

  b = -1 . . . . . . divide by 2

Answer: a = -5
Heyy, so with this question you would have to substiute 1 for x because normally the coordinates have x first then y. E.g. (x,y)

soo, f(1) = a(1)^2 +5
then, f(1) = a + 5
then equate to zero. E.g. a+5=0
then move over 5 to other side E.g. a=-5
soo.. yah.. pretty sure haha :)

What are the solutions to the equation
ANTONII [103]
Lets solve it
first multiply each term by x :-

x^2 - 7 = 6x
x^2 - 6x - 7 = 0
(x - 7)(x + 1) = 0


x = 7 and x = -1

V-125 - 5 X 32
solong [7]

Answer:

Because of the order of operations, we start the equation backwards because exponents are what we prioritize here.

3^2 = 9\\\\9 * 5 = 45\\\\\sqrt{-125} = -11.1803399\\\\45 - -11.1803399 = 56.1803399\\\\56.1803399 * 3 = \boxed{168.54}                                      <em>Result rounded to 2 DP</em>
