Answer:

Step 1: Find the prime factorization of the number inside the radical.

Step 2: Determine the index of the radical. In this case, the index is two because it is a square root, which means we need two of a kind.

Step 3: Move each group of numbers or variables from inside the radical to outside the radical. In this case, the pair of 2’s and 3’s moved outside the radical.

Step 4: Simplify the expressions both inside and outside the radical by multiplying.

Find the intersection points of the linear and quadratic functions shown below f(x)=2x-5 g(x)= x2+2x-21

Mice21 [21]

Answer:

$(-4,-13)$ and $(4,3)$ the intersection points.

Step-by-step explanation:

Intersection point of two functions is a common point which satisfies both the functions.

Given functions are,

$f(x)=2x-5$

$g(x)=x^2+2x-21$

For a common point of these functions,

$f(x)=g(x)$

$2x-5=x^2+2x-21$

$-5=x^2-21$

$0=x^2-16$

$x^2=16$

$x=-4,4$

For $x=-4$ ,

$f(-4)=g(-4)=2(-4)-5$

$=-13$

For $x=4$ ,

$f(4)=g(4)=2(4)-5$

$=3$

Therefore, $(-4,-13)$ and $(4,3)$ the intersection points.

Answer:

2⁵× 2ˣ = 256

x= 3

(1/3)² (1/3)ˣ = 1/729

x= 4

Step-by-step explanation:

2⁵× 2ˣ = 256

x= 3

use Product Rule: xᵃxᵇ=xᵃ⁺ᵇ

convert both sides to the same base.

2⁵⁺ˣ = 2⁸

cancel the base of 2 on both sides.

5+x=8

subtract 5 from both sides.

x=8-5

simplify 8-5 3.

x=3

(1/2)² (1/3)ˣ = 1/729

x = 4

use division distributive property: (x/y)ᵃ=xᵃ/yᵃ

i hope this helped i didn't feel like typing the rest out though lol :(
