if r < 0, then is alternating
if 0 < r < 1, then is decreases
if r = 1, then is constant
if r > 1, then is icreases
6. 20 ft Below sea level is -20 and 15 ft. Below sea level is -15, add -20+-15 (the new integer is -35)
Answer:
To solve an exponential equation, take the log of both sides, and solve for the variable.
Step-by-step explanation:
Example 1: Solve for x in the equation tex2html_wrap_inline119 .
Solution:
Step 1: Take the natural log of both sides:
