Answer:

D. x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{1}{2} ^{x-4}$ - 3 = $4^{x-3}$ - 2

First, convert $4^{x-3}$ to base 2:

$4^{x-3}$ = $(2^{2})^{x-3}$

$\frac{1}{2} ^{x-4}$ - 3 = $(2^{2})^{x-3}$ - 2

Next, convert $\frac{1}{2} ^{x-4}$ to base 2:

$\frac{1}{2} ^{x-4}$ = $(2^{-1})^{x-4}$

$(2^{-1})^{x-4}$ - 3 = $(2^{2})^{x-3}$ - 2

Apply exponent rule: $(a^{b})^{c}$ = $a^{bc}$ :

$(2^{-1})^{x-4}$ = $2^{-1*(x-4)}$

$2^{-1*(x-4)}$ - 3 = $(2^{2})^{x-3}$ - 2

Apply exponent rule: $(a^{b})^{c}$ = $a^{bc}$ :

$(2^{2})^{x-3}$ = $2^{2(x-3)}$

$2^{-1*(x-4)}$ - 3 = $2^{2(x-3)}$ - 2

Apply exponent rule: $a^{b+c}$ = $a^{b}$ $a^{c}$ :

$2^{-1(x-4)}$ = $2^{-1x}$ * $2^{4}$ , $2^{2(x-3)}$ = $2^{2x}$ * $2^{-6}$

$2^{-1 * x}$ * $2^{4}$ - 3 = $2^{2x}$ * $2^{-6}$ - 2

Apply exponent rule: $(a^{b})^{c}$ = $a^{bc}$ :

$2^{-1x}$ = $(2^{x})^{-1}$ , $2^{2x}$ = $(2^{x})^{2}$

$(2^{x})^{-1}$ * $2^{4}$ - 3 = $(2^{x})^{2}$ * $2^{-6}$ - 2

Rewrite the equation with $2^{x} = u$ :

$(u)^{-1}$ * $2^{4}$ - 3 = $(u)^{2}$ * $2^{-6}$ - 2

Solve $u^{-1}$ * $2^{4}$ - 3 = $u^{2}$ * $2^{-6}$ - 2:

$u^{-1}$ * $2^{4}$ - 3 = $u^{2}$ * $2^{-6}$ - 2

Refine:

$\frac{16}{u}$ - 3 = $\frac{1}{64}$ $u^{2}$ - 2

Add 3 to both sides:

$\frac{16}{u}$ - 3 + 3 = $\frac{1}{64}$ $u^{2}$ - 2 + 3

Simplify:

$\frac{16}{u}$ = $\frac{1}{64}$ $u^{2}$ + 1

Multiply by the Least Common Multiplier (64u):

$\frac{16}{u}$ * 64u = $\frac{1}{64}$ $u^{2}$ + 1 * 64u

Simplify:

$\frac{16}{u}$ * 64u = $\frac{1}{64}$ $u^{2}$ + 1 * 64u

Simplify $\frac{16}{u}$ * 64u:

1024

Simplify $\frac{1}{64}$ $u^{2}$ * 64u:

$u^{3}$

Substitute:

1024 = $u^{3}$ + 64u

Solve for u:

u = 8

Substitute back u = $2^{x}$ :

8 = $2^{x}$

Solve for x:

x = 3

Need this please!!! Graph Y=-5x-2!!! Thanks. :-)

Andreyy89

Graph the line using the slope and y-intercept, or two points.

Slope= -5

y- intercept= (0,2)

The answer has two points (0,2) and (1,-3) place them and then make a line going left through them.

Find the length indicated. find CE

torisob [31]

Okay, to find length CE, your going to know the value of <em>x</em>. Length BC + CE = BD + DE.
3x+47+x+26=27+x+10
Simplify the equation to get
4x+73=37+x
you can choose one of four ways to continue, but I will choose to subtract x
3x+73=37
Subtract 73 from both sides of the equal sign
3x=-36
divide by 3 on both sides of the equal sign to get the value of x
x=-12

Now, plug in -12 for x in length CE to get -12+26=14

Slope for y=5,520.619x - 1,091.393

Bad White [126]

Answer:

m = 5,520.619

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is :

y=5,520.619x-1,091.393 ....(1)

The general form of equation is given by :

y = mx +c ...(2)

Where

m is slope of line

c is y-intercept

Comparing equation (1) and (2), we get :

Slope, m = 5,520.619

Hence, the slope of the given line is 5,520.619.
