What is the value of the dependent variable if the value of the independent variable is –4?

1 answer:

8 0

If you would like to know the value of the dependent variable if the value of the independent variable is - 4, you can calculate this using the following steps:

independent variable ... - 4 ... x
dependent variable ... f(x)

f(x)= -3x^2 + 5x
f(-4) = -3 * (-4)^2 + 5 * (-4) = -3 * 16 - 20 = -48 - 20 = - 68

The correct result would be C. –68.

4^(4x-1)=32 How do I solve this problem? Do I do 4 to the fourth power first?

yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

$\large\boxed{x=\dfrac{7}{8}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$4^{(4x-1)}=32\\\\(2^2)^{4x-1}=2^5\qquad\text{use}\ (a^n)^m=a^{nm}\\\\2^{2(4x-1)}=2^5\iff2(4x-1)=5\ \ \text{use the distributive property}\ a(b+c)=ab+ac\\\\(2)(4x)+(2)(-1)=5\\\\8x-2=5\qquad\text{add 2 to both sides}\\\\8x=7\qquad\text{divide both sides by 8}\\\\x=\dfrac{7}{8}$
