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))

Answer:
The equation would be y = 2x + 3
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to solve this, we first need to find the slope of the line between (-2, 5) and (2, 3). In order to do this, we use the slope formula.
m(slope) = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (3 - 5)/(2 - -2)
m = -2/4
m = -1/2
Now that we have the original line with a slope of -1/2, we can tell a perpendicular line would have a slope of 2. This is because perpendicular lines have opposite and reciprocal slopes. Now we can use that slope and the given point in point-slope form to get the answer. Be sure to solve for y.
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y + 7 = 2(x + 5)
y + 7 = 2x + 10
y = 2x + 3
Answer:
x=0.5
y = 10.5
Step-by-step explanation:
y = 3x + 7
y = 5x + 8
3x + 7 = 5x + 8
3x - 5x= 8 - 7
2x = 1
x= 1/2
x=0.5
y = 5x + 8
y = 5(0.5) + 8
y = 2.5 + 8
y = 10.5
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
F(x) is just a negative vertical shift downwards, so when you have a downwards shift the number of units down is placed right after the x outside of the parenthesis. In this case, there was a shift of -4, so it would be -x^2 - 4.
