Of the following options, what could be a possible first step in solving the equation 8x + 3 = 2x − 15?

1 answer:

4 0

B.Adding 15 to both sides of the equation.

A. Adding 8x to both sides wouldn't cancel anything out.
B. Adding 15 to both sides will cancel out 15 making it easier to solve for x.
C.Adding 3 to both sides will not cancel anything out.
D. Adding 2x to both sides won't cancel anything out.

x+5=5x+25
25-5=5x-x

dimaraw [331]

When you have an equation f(x)=ax^2 + bx + c the vertex is (-b/2a,f(-b/2a))
so just plug into the formula, (-12/-2,f(-12/-2)) and (6,32) is the vertex.

Answer:

The correct option is (C) Exponential growth.

Step-by-step explanation:

The simplest exponential function is: f(x) = $a^{x}$ , a>0, a≠1

If the x is positive then graph of exponential is increasing and if the x is negative then graph of exponential is decreasing.

In given function $f(x)=\frac{1}{2}\times(3)^x$

x is positive so, it is graph of exponential growth.

Hence, the correct option is (C) Exponential growth.
