The solution is x = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation is:

3^{(x-1)} = 9^{(x+2)}

In order to solve the eponnetial equations, we have to equate the bases of both sides so that the exponents can be put equal

So,

Replacing 9 with 3^2

3^{(x-1)} = (3^2)^{(x+2)}

When there are exponents on exponents, both are multiplied so,

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

As the bases on both sides are same, the exponents can be put equal

So,

x-1 = 2x+4

Adding 1 on both sides

x-1+1 = 2x+4+1\\x = 2x+5

Subtracting 2x from both sides

x-2x = 2x-2x+5\\-x = 5\\x = -5

Hence,

The solution is x = -5

How do I do this I really need to know!
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm doing seven.

<em><u>x = -2</u></em>

y = 2^(-2 -1) + 2

y = 2^(-3) + 2

y = 1/2^3 + 2

y = 1/8 + 2

y = 2.125 which is a guess on the graph.

<em><u>x = - 1</u></em>

y = (2)^(-1 -1) + 2

y = (2)^-2 + 2

y = 1/4 + 2

y = 2.25

x = 0

y = 2^(0 - 1) + 2

y = 2^(-1) + 2

y = 1/2 + 2

y = 2.5

<em><u>x = 1</u></em>

y = 2^(1 - 1) + 2

y = 2^0 + 2           If the power of a number = 0 then the result = 1. The only exception to that is 0^0

y = 1 + 2

y = 3

Eight

<em><u>x = -1</u></em>

y = (1/2)^(-1 + 1) + 2

y = 1 + 2

y = 3

<em><u>x = 0</u></em>

y = (1/2)^(0 - 1) + 2

y = (1/2)^-1 + 2             Turn the 1/2 upside down

y = 2 + 2

y = 4

<em><u>x = 1</u></em>

y = (1/2)^(1 + 1) + 2

y = (1/2)^2 + 2

y = 1/4 + 2

y = 2.25

<em><u>x = 2</u></em>

y = (1/2)^(2 + 1) + 2

y = (1/2)^3 + 2

y = 1/8 + 2

y = 2.125

A new sweater costs $15.99. If the sweater is on sale for 1/4 off
Mrac [35]

the sweater costs $15.99 regularly, however today is on sale, 1/4 off the regular price, how much is 1/4 of 15.99? well just their product, 15.99 * (1/4) = 3.9975.

that means that just for today, the sweater costs 15.99 - 3.9975.

so, today you're not really paying $15.99 for the sweater, you're paying 3.9975 less, so you're saving 3.9975.  That's $3.9975 that you won't be spending on it, thus saving it.
