It is a parabola because when you do the work, which I won't do for you, it ends up being a parabola, just saying hope this helps...
Answer:
Range: y ≥ 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Range is the y value
y = (x-2)^2 +4
The smallest the squared term can be is zero
y = 0 +4
The smallest y can be is 4
y ≥ 4
They are similar, but I don't exactly know why. It has something to do with the angles, I know that.
Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer: x = 8
Discussion:
I interpret the question as follows:
3^(4x-1) = 3^31 find x.
Since the above bases are both 3, we need to equate their exponents and solve.:
4x-1 = 31 -- subtract 1 from each side.
4x = 32 =>
x = 8
Thank you,
MrB
