Hello,
y=2^(-x)
y=2^(2x)+3
==>2^(2x)+3=1/2^x
==>2^(3x)+3*2^x-1=0 (1)
Let's assume u=2^x
(1)==>u^3+3*u-1=0
which as 3 roots
u=0.322185354626 or
u = -0.161092677313 + i1.754380959784 or
u = -0.161092677313 - i1.754380959784.
Let's take the real solution
0.322185354626=2^x
==>x=ln(0.322185354626) / ln(2)
x=-1,6340371790199...
an other way is
f(x)=2^(3x)+3*2^x-1
f(-2)=1/64+3/4-1=-15/64 <0
f(-1)=1/8+1-1=1/8>0
==> there is a solution betheen -2<x<-1
Here you have to use proportionality,
1 feet is 12 inches so 40 feets is 480 inches
Then the real locomotive is 480/16=30 times wider then the model
And then a window on the real locomotive is 30 times wider then the model..
equation of a line that passes through the point (x1,y1) and has a slope of m is
y-y1=m(x-x1)
given
(1,-2) and slope of 1/3
y-(-2)=1/3(x-1)
general form is ax+by=c (or ax+by+c=0) where a,b,c are integers and a is positive
y-(-2)=1/3(x-1)
y+2=1/3(x-1)
times both sides by 3
3y+6=x-1
minus 3y both sides
6=x-3y-1
add 1 both sides
7=x-3y
x-3y=7
To get ax+by+c=0 form, subtract 7 from both sides to get
x-3y-7=0
Take all five books and name them from one to five. From there you can arrange them in any order until you no longer get a different set of numbers. Start with 12345 and go from there.
example: 12345, 15234, 14523,13452 and so on.
