Answer:

x = - $\frac{7}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

20x + 12 = 4x - 16 ( subtract 4x from both sides )

16x + 12 = - 16 ( subtract 12 from both sides )

16x = - 28 ( divide both sides by 16 )

x = $\frac{-28}{16}$ = - $\frac{7}{4}$ [ = - 1.75 ]

Let f(x)=(18)3^x. find the equation of the line between the points (-2,f(-2)) and (1,f(1))

horsena [70]

$\text{Given that,} \\\\f(x) = 18 \cdot 3^x \\\\f(-2) = 18 \cdot 3^{-2} = 2\\\\f(1) = 18 \cdot 3^1 = 54\\ \\\text{So,}~ (x_1,y_1) = (x_1, f(-2)) = (-2,2) ~\text{and}~ (x_2,y_2) = (x_2, f(1)) = (1,54)\\ \\\text{Slope,}~ m = \dfrac{y_2 -y_1}{x_2 -x_1} = \dfrac{54-2}{1+2} = \dfrac{52}3 \\\\$

$\text{Equation of line,}\\\\~~~~~~~y - y_1 = m (x-x_1)\\\\\\\implies y-2 = \dfrac{52}3(x+2)~~~~~~~~~~~;[\text{Point-Slope form.]} \\\\\\\implies y-2 = \dfrac{52}3x + \dfrac{104}3\\\\\\\implies y = \dfrac{52}{3}x + \dfrac{104} 3 +2\\\\\\\implies y = \dfrac{52}3 x +\dfrac{110}3 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~;[\text{Slope -Intercept form}]$
