Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer: g(x) approaches "infinity' as x approaches "positive infinity" and g(x) approaches --0.5 as x approaches "negative infinity"

Discussion.

g(x) = ( 5^x -3) + 2.5

Suppose x is approaching positive infinity. Then the term 5^x grows without bound ("positive infinity") so the -3 and "2.5" constants have no impact at all. That is, g(x) behaves like 5^x which grows without bound.

Suppose x is approaching negative infinity. Then 5^x approaches 0 (zero) so g(x) approaches

(0 -3) + 2.5 -

= - 0.5

Thank you,

MrB

Sove the equation and verify

Nostrana [21]

Let's break the equation in several step to make things more clear: first of all, the numerator of the left hand side simplifies to

$\dfrac{2x}{3}-\dfrac{1}{2} = \dfrac{4x-3}{6}$

Similarly, the denominator becomes

$\dfrac{3x}{4}-\dfrac{1}{2} = \dfrac{3x-2}{4}$

Dividing by a fraction means to multiply by the inverse of that fraction:

$\dfrac{\frac{a}{b}}{\frac{c}{d}} = \dfrac{a}{b}\cdot\dfrac{d}{c}$

So, in your case, we have

$\dfrac{\frac{2x}{3}-\frac{1}{2}}{\frac{3x}{4}-\frac{1}{2}} = \dfrac{\frac{4x-3}{6}}{\frac{3x-2}{4}} = \dfrac{4x-3}{6}\cdot \dfrac{4}{3x-2} = \dfrac{2(4x-3)}{3(3x-2)} = \dfrac{8x-6}{9x-6}$

So, the equation has become

$\dfrac{8x-6}{9x-6} = \dfrac{4}{3}$

Multiply both sides by 3(9x-6):

$3(8x-6) = 4(9x-6) \iff 24x-18 = 36x-24$

Subtract 24x from both sides, and add 18 to both sides:

$36x-24x = 24-18 \iff 12x=6 \iff x = \dfrac{1}{2}$

is 9/9 a whole number? because when simplified it equls 1 and 1 is a whole number, but since its in fractiom form does that coun

kifflom [539]

Answer:

Even though it's in fraction form it's still a whole number.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here's an example to make this easier-

If you cut an orange into 8 slices and count all the parts it's 8/8, but you still have 1 whole orange. I hope this makes sense! have a great day! ^^
