There are two of them.
I don't know a mechanical way to 'solve' for them.
One can be found by trial and error:
x=0 . . . . . 2^0 = 1 . . . . . 4(0) = 0 . . . . . no, that doesn't work
x=1 . . . . . 2^1 = 2 . . . . . 4(1) = 4 . . . . . no, that doesn't work
x=2 . . . . . 2^2 = 4 . . . . . 4(2) = 8 . . . . . no, that doesn't work
x=3 . . . . . 2^3 = 8 . . . . . 4(3) = 12 . . . . no, that doesn't work
<em>x=4</em> . . . . . 2^4 = <em><u>16</u></em> . . . . 4(4) = <em><u>16</u></em> . . . . Yes ! That works ! yay !
For the other one, I constructed tables of values for 2^x and (4x)
in a spread sheet, then graphed them, and looked for the point
where the graphs of the two expressions cross.
The point is near, but not exactly, <em>x = 0.30990693...
</em>If there's a way to find an analytical expression for the value, it must involve
some esoteric kind of math operations that I didn't learn in high school or
engineering school, and which has thus far eluded me during my lengthy
residency in the college of hard knocks.<em> </em> If anybody out there has it, I'm
waiting with all ears.<em>

The geometric sequence is found in the relationship between consecutive terms that is constant.
In this problem, as I understand it, none of the functions forms a geometric sequence.
The functions that form a geometric sequence have the form
f (x) = h (a) ^ n where "a" is the constant relation between the successive terms.
If you wrote the function "f (x) = - 2 (3/4) x", you wanted to write instead:
f (x) = - 2 (3/4) ^ x
So that would be the function that forms a geometric sequence, where the relation between the consecutive terms is 3/4.
You can test it by dividing f (x) / f (x-1)
Then you will see that the result of that division will be 3/4.
A = 1/2 b h where b = 3.4 cm and h = 8 cm
A = 1/2 (3.4)(8)
A = 13.6 cm^2
Answer: 13.6 cm^2
A) an equal chance or 50-50
There is the same amount of each flavor so it has an equal chance of being cherry or strawberry.
Answer:
-2.25
Step-by-step explanation:
9(1-x) = 27Y
9-9x =27y
-9x -27y = -9 multiply all terms by -1
9x +27y =9 equation (1)
x-y= -11/2 equation (2)
by solving 2 equations
x= -3.875
y= 1.625
∴ x+ y = 1.625 +(-3.875) = -2.25
