Answer:

see the explanation and the attached figure

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$-2(x+1)=8$ ----> given

Divide by -2 both sides

$-2\frac{(x+1)}{-2} =\frac{8}{-2}$ ----> by Division Property of Equality

Simplifying

$x+1=-4$

Subtract 1 both sides

$x+1-1=-4-1$ ----> by Subtraction Property of Equality

Simplifying

$x=-5$

How do I solve this

$\bf \textit{difference of squares}
\\ \quad \\
(a-b)(a+b) = a^2-b^2\qquad \qquad 
a^2-b^2 = (a-b)(a+b)\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\cfrac{2x}{x^2+2x-24}-\cfrac{x}{x^2-36}\quad 
\begin{cases}
x^2+2x-24\implies (x+6)(x-4)\\
--------------\\
x^2-36\implies x^2-6^2\\
(x-6)(x+6)
\end{cases}$

$\bf \cfrac{2x}{(x+6)(x-4)}-\cfrac{x}{(x-6)(x+6)}\impliedby 
\begin{array}{llll}
\textit{thus our LCD is}\\
(x-6)(x+6)(x-4)
\end{array}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{[(x-6)2x]~-~[(x-4)x]}{(x-6)(x+6)(x-4)}\implies \cfrac{2x^2-12x-x^2+4x}{(x-6)(x+6)(x-4)}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{x^2-8x}{(x-6)(x+6)(x-4)}$

The inverse of an exponential function is the logarithmic function. True or False?

patriot [66]

For one-to-one functions, the inverse of an exponential function is a logarithmic function and the inverse of a logarithmic function is an exponential function.
For example:
$f(x)=e^{x}$
$f^{-1} (x)=ln\ x$

$f(x)=ln\ x$
$f^{-1} x=e^{x}$
