Answer:
x ≈ -4.419
Step-by-step explanation:
Separate the constants from the exponentials and write the two exponentials as one. (This puts x in one place.) Then use logarithms.
0 = 2^(x-1) -3^(x+1)
3^(x+1) = 2^(x-1) . . . . . add 3^(x+1)
3×3^x = (1/2)2^x . . . . .factor out the constants
(3/2)^x = (1/2)/3 . . . . . divide by 3×2^x
Take the log:
x·log(3/2) = log(1/6)
x = log(1/6)/log(3/2) . . . . . divide by the coefficient of x
x ≈ -4.419

A graphing calculator is another tool that can be used to solve this. I find it the quickest and easiest.

<em>Comment on alternate solution</em>
Once you get the exponential terms on opposite sides of the equal sign, you can take logs at that point, if you like. Then solve the resulting linear equation for x.
(x+1)log(3) = (x-1)log(2)
x=(log(2)+log(3))/(log(2)-log(3))
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation that is given is only for the specific place of that object. To find the velocity, you need to take the derivative of the equation. This will give you:
Now, to find the average velocity of this object, plug in the values given to you. It's between the time interval [1, 2] so these are the two numbers you'll plug into the velocity equation. Finding this average is like finding any other average.
So
Average velocity is 0.5 sec
To find instantaneous velocity just find the velocity at time one. Think about the name "instantaneous velocity," it's the velocity in that <u>instant</u>.
We already found this, so I don't need more work (it's displayed above).
The instantaneous velocity when is 2.5 sec.
