Answer:
No, They are not equivalent
Step-by-step explanation:
The two expressions are only said to be equivalent if they are the same regardless of whatever value the variable(s) is.
The variable in this question is x.
To prove this, we equate both expressions:
This shows that they have the same value ONLY when x is 1.
This is why Andre says that they are equivalent, but they are not.
<span>The function which has a constant halving time is in the following form
</span>
Where: A₀ is the <span>initial amount
h is the half life time or the halving time.
</span><span> t is the time
</span> A(t) <span>the amount<span> that remains at time t
</span></span>
The previous function represents an Exponential decay<span> function.

comparing the relation given
thus y= -2x +1 to the general equation of a line
where y= mx + c
where m is the gradient and c is the intercept on the y-axis.
from the question, the gradient is -2 and since the line is perpendicular, the gradient is given as
so substituting the value of m in to the equation
=
as the gradient
equation of line is given by
y - y1 = m( x-x1)
from the question y1= -2 and x1=1
substitute them
y-(-2) = 1/2 (x -1)
y+2 =1/2 (x-1)
multiplying through by 2
2 (y+2) = x-1
2y +4 = x-1
2y =x-1-4
2y =x-5
x -2y -5 = 0
therefore the equation for the line is x-2y -5=0
