Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Factor 

Answer:
(w-3) + 6
you have to subtract w and 3 first, then add 6 to it.
Some useful relations and identities:



By the first relation, we have

Applying the two latter identities, we get

We can apply the third identity again:

and this is probably as far as you have to go, but by no means is it the only possible solution.
1.5 = 1 1/2 = 3/2
When there is a negative exponent, you find the reciprocal of the base, so therefore: 3/2 ^ -2 = 2/3 ^ 2
Then you square the numerator, then square the denominator: 2^2/3^2 = 4/9
For the function
f(x) = 4^(x-1) +2
the average rate of change on the interval [1, 2] is found by computing
(f(2) - f(1))/(2 - 1)
= ((4^1+2) - (4^0+2)/1
= (6-3)
= 3
