Can someone solve this? and tell me how?

maksim [4K]

Answer:

1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

When working with balanced expressions (stuff on both sides of the equal sign), "what you do to one side, you do to the other", which keeps it balanced.

The first thing we notice is the exponent 1/4, which is one both sides, so we can get rid of it on both sides by using the reverse operation.

The reverse of exponents is square root.

$(4x + 10)^{\frac{1}{4}} = (9 + 7x)^{\frac{1}{4}}\\\sqrt[\frac{1}{4}]{(4x + 10)^{\frac{1}{4}}} = \sqrt[\frac{1}{4}]{(9 + 7x)^{\frac{1}{4}}}\\\\4x + 10 = 9 + 7x$

Isolate x to solve. Separate the variables and non-variables.

4x + 10 = 9 + 7x

4x - 4x + 10 = 9 + 7x - 4x Subtract 4x from both sides

10 = 9 + 3x

10 - 9 = 9 - 9 + 3x Subtract 9 from both sides

1 = 3x Divide both sides by 3 to isolate x

What are the leading coefficient, constant term and degree, if any, of the algebraic expression

nasty-shy [4]

Coefficients are the numbers in from with the variable, the constant is just a number and the degree is the exponent.

Write in slope-intercept form an equation of the line that passes through the points (−1,12) and (1,2).

zzz [600]

Answer:

$y=-5x+7$

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the slope

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

$m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

we have

the points (−1,12) and (1,2)

substitute

$m=\frac{2-12}{1+1}$

$m=\frac{-10}{2}$

$m=-5$

step 2

we know that

The equation of the line in slope intercept form is equl to

$y=mx+b$

where

m is the slope

b is the y-intercept

we have

$m=-5$

$point\ (1,2)$

substitute in the linear equation and solve for b

$2=-5(1)+b$

$b=2+5=7$

therefore

$y=-5x+7$

Which graph best represents the function f(x)=2x ?

yan [13]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The best - well, only way- is to check a few points.

Namely -1 (unless your eyesight is really poor!), 0, 1, 2, and 3.

$f(x) = 2^x\\f(-1) = 2^-^1 = \frac12\\f(0) =2^0 =1\\f(1)= 2^1=2\\f(2)=2^2=4\\f(3)=2^3= 8$

Now you can mark all these points in each graph (well, you could if they were on paper and not on a screen) and see which one of the lines passes through all of them. Spoiler alert, it's the B graph.

A represents $2(2^x) = 2^{x+1}$ , B is the one you want, C is $\frac{2^x}2 = 2^{x-1}$ and D looks like $4^x = 2^2^x$
