If x is a number that satisfies 4x+3=18, can x be equal to 3? explain.

No. 3 is an invalid number for the exponent x. If we were to plug it in like so 4(3)+3+18 it wouldn't work. Lets simplify it yea?

1. 4(3)=12
2. 12+3=15
3. 15=18 this is incorrect because 15 has a different value than 18

The answer is no. because is you substitute the value 3 in for x into the equation and solve you get,

4(3)+3=18 which says 12+3=18 15=18 and that is an untrue statement.
Hope this helps explain the concept so you understand! Any questions feel free to ask! Please rate if I helped you! thank you so much!!

What are the key aspects of the graph of f(x) = x2 – b2, where b is a real number?

netineya [11]

Given equation is $f\left(x\right)=x^2-b^2$ .

Now we need to find about what are the key aspects of the graph of $f\left(x\right)=x^2-b^2$ , where b is a real number.

We know that square of any number is always positive.

then $b^2$ must be a positive number.

So that means for any real number b, as the value of b increases then graph of f(x) shifts downward by $b^2$ units as compared to the graph of parent function $f\left(x\right)=x^2$
