I suppose you just have to simplify this expression.
(2ˣ⁺² - 2ˣ⁺³) / (2ˣ⁺¹ - 2ˣ⁺²)
Divide through every term by the lowest power of 2, which would be <em>x</em> + 1 :
… = (2ˣ⁺²/2ˣ⁺¹ - 2ˣ⁺³/2ˣ⁺¹) / (2ˣ⁺¹/2ˣ⁺¹ - 2ˣ⁺²/2ˣ⁺¹)
Recall that <em>n</em>ª / <em>n</em>ᵇ = <em>n</em>ª⁻ᵇ, so that we have
… = (2⁽ˣ⁺²⁾ ⁻ ⁽ˣ⁺¹⁾ - 2⁽ˣ⁺³⁾ ⁻ ⁽ˣ⁺¹⁾) / (2⁽ˣ⁺¹⁾ ⁻ ⁽ˣ⁺¹⁾ - 2⁽ˣ⁺²⁾ ⁻ ⁽ˣ⁺¹⁾)
… = (2¹ - 2²) / (2⁰ - 2¹)
… = (2 - 4) / (1 - 2)
… = (-2) / (-1)
… = 2
Another way to get the same result: rewrite every term as a multiple of <em>y</em> = 2ˣ :
… = (2²×2ˣ - 2³×2ˣ) / (2×2ˣ - 2²×2ˣ)
… = (4×2ˣ - 8×2ˣ) / (2×2ˣ - 4×2ˣ)
… = (4<em>y</em> - 8<em>y</em>) / (2<em>y</em> - 4<em>y</em>)
… = (-4<em>y</em>) / (-2<em>y</em>)
… = 2
Answer:
28%
Step-by-step explanation:
In the function the .72 means that each unit of time 72% of the value is retained. This means that 28% percent of the value is lost or decays because 1-0.72=0.28 or 28 percent.
The graph of g is one-fifth as steep as the graph of f.
The function g basically takes the inputs for f and multiplies them by one-fifth, which means the outputs are one-fifth times those of f. Multiplying by one-fifth makes something smaller (it's the same as dividing by five). It helps to visualize this relationship, so I've attache the graphs below.
If we let x and y represent length and width, respectively, then we can write equations according to the problem statement.
.. x = y +2
.. xy = 3(2(x +y)) -1
This can be solved a variety of ways. I find a graphing calculator provides an easy solution: (x, y) = (13, 11).
The length of the rectangle is 13 inches.
The width of the rectangle is 11 inches.
______
Just so you're aware, the problem statement is nonsensical. You cannot compare perimeter (inches) to area (square inches). You can compare their numerical values, but the units are different, so there is no direct comparison.
Answer: 
Step-by-step explanation:
(3x^2+x-1)(x^4-2x+1)
=3x^6-6x^3+3x^2+x^5-2x^2+x-x^4+2x-1
=3x^6+x^5-x^4-6x^3+x^2+3x-1
Hope this helps!! :)
