What is the solution of sqrt1-3x=x+3
1 answer:
x = - 1
given = x + 3
square both sides
1 - 3x = (x + 3 )² ( expand right side using FOIL )
1 - 3x = x² + 6x + 9 ( subtract 1 - 3x from both sides )
0 = x² + 9x + 8
0 = ( x + 1)(x + 8)
equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x + 1 = 0 ⇒ x = -1
x + 8 = 0 ⇒ x = - 8
As a check
substitute these values into the equation and if both sides are equal then they are the solutions
x = - 1 : = 2 and - 1 + 3 = 2 ← true
x = - 8 : = 5 and - 8 + 3 = -5 ← false
thus the only solution is x = - 1

Work Shown:
We multiply the coefficients 9.2 and 7 to get 64.4, which is the same as 6.44*10^1 in scientific notation. When multiplying exponential expressions with the same base, we add the exponents
This is what the steps could look like
The final result is in scientific notation as the coefficient c is restricted such that
Answer:
Exponential decay function; -0.94%
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given an exponential function and we are supposed to find whether the given function increases or decreases and also the percentage of increase or decrease.
Th given function is f(x) = 2060
Here x denotes the number of years.
At the start the value was 2060. In the next year it was multiplied by 0.9906.
This means that the value becomes 0.9906 times after each year.
Hence the value decreases by 0.0094 times its original value.
Converting to percentage it becomes 0.94% decrease after each year.
