Answer:

x = (b + 5/a)

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.

PEMDAS is the order of operation, and equals:

Parenthesis

Exponents (& Roots)

Multiplication

Division

Addition

Subtraction

First, add 5 to both sides of the equation:

ax - 5 (+5) = b (+5)

ax = b + 5

Next, divide a from both sides to isolate the variable, x:

(ax)/a = (b + 5)/a

x = (b + 5)/a

x = (b + 5/a) is your answer.

Which function represents g(x), a reflection of f(x) = 4

mel-nik [20]

Answer: Correct answer is C -I just took the test

we have the function f(x) = 4(1/2)x, and we want to reflex it over the x-axis.

you can see in the graph that the reflex over this axis changes the sign of f(x) in all the points (where f(0) = 4, g(0) = -4, f(1) = 2, g(1) = -2, and so on), then the reflex, g(x) is equal to -f(x)

now we have:

g(x) = -f(x) = - 4(1/2)x

then the right answer is the third option:

g(x) = -4(1/2)x
