Y = <span>b^x
when x = 1
y = b^1
y = b
Therefore, the value of b is the same as the value of y when x =1
From the graph,
When x = 1, y = 0.5
Therefore, b = 0.5
To confirm this
From the graph,
When x = -1, y = 2
Since </span>y = b^x<span>
2 = </span>b^-1
2 = 1/b
2b = 1
b = 0.5
When x = -2, y = 4
Since y = b^x
4 = b^-2
4 = 1/(b^2)
b^2 = 1/4
b = √(1/4)
b = 1/2
b = 0.5
Therefore, it is conformed that b = 0.5
Answer: x = 9
Step-by-Step Solution:
Hypotenuse = 15 units
Base = 12 units
Altitude = x units
Using Pythagoras Theorem,
=> Hypotenuse^2 = Base^2 + Altitude^2
(15)^2 = (12)^2 + x^2
225 = 144 + x^2
225 - 144 = x^2
81 = x^2
x^2 = 81
x = √81
=> x = 9
Therefore, Altitude = 9 units
Simplify 4^4 to 256
256 + 1/2 = 256.5
Simplify 256 + 1/2 to 513/2
513/2 = 256.5
Since both sides equal, there are infinitely many solutions.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
From figure,

In triangle 

![\Rightarrow (a+b)^2=(a-b)^2+(O' D)^2\\\Rightarrow a^2+b^2+2ab-a^2-b^2+2ab=(O' D)^2\\\Rightarrow 4ab=(O' D)^2\\\Rightarrow O'D=2\sqrt{ab} \\\Rightarrow O' D=2\sqrt{ab}=AB \quad \quad [\because O' DAB\;\; \text{is a rectangle.}]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5CRightarrow%20%28a%2Bb%29%5E2%3D%28a-b%29%5E2%2B%28O%27%20D%29%5E2%5C%5C%5CRightarrow%20a%5E2%2Bb%5E2%2B2ab-a%5E2-b%5E2%2B2ab%3D%28O%27%20D%29%5E2%5C%5C%5CRightarrow%204ab%3D%28O%27%20D%29%5E2%5C%5C%5CRightarrow%20O%27D%3D2%5Csqrt%7Bab%7D%20%5C%5C%5CRightarrow%20O%27%20D%3D2%5Csqrt%7Bab%7D%3DAB%20%5Cquad%20%5Cquad%20%5B%5Cbecause%20O%27%20DAB%5C%3B%5C%3B%20%5Ctext%7Bis%20a%20rectangle.%7D%5D)
Hence, 
Step-by-step explanation:
ED = EB
2x +3 = 5x -15
3+15=5x -2x
18 = 3x
18 ÷ 3 = x
x = 6
