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

Given the function {f(x)=32-x}^{2}f(x)=32−x 2 , what is f(-5)f(−5)?

erastova [34]

Step-by-step explanation:

the description is very difficult to understand with special characters and potential typing errors.

I suspect the definition is

function(x) = 32 - x²

function(-5)function(-5) is then very easily calculated.

we need to calculate function(-5) and then square the result, as function(-5)function(-5) is just a simple multiplication of the function results.

function(-5) = 32 - (-5)² = 32 - 25 = 7

so,

function(-5)function(-5) = 7 × 7 = 49
