Question 13 is 14 x is 14
Answer:
-5 =x
Step-by-step explanation:
3^(x-1) = 9^(x+2)
Replace 9 with 3^2
3^(x-1) = 3^2^(x+2)
We know that a power to a power means the powers are multiplied
a^b^c = a^(b*c)
3^(x-1) = 3^(2x+2)
When the bases are the same, the powers have to be the same
x-1 = 2x+4
Subtract x from each side
x-x-1 =2x-x+4
-1 =x+4
Subtract 4 from each side
-1-4 =x+4-4
-1-4 = x
-5 =x
Answer:
C. x =3
Step-by-step explanation:
Extraneous solution is that root of a transformed equation that doesn't satisfy the equation in it's original form because it was excluded from the domain of the original equation.
Let's solve the equation first

Hence, we can conclude that x=3 is an extraneous solution of the equation ..
Answer:
y = -1/8 x² + 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Parabola opens vertically and vertex (h,k) = (0,5), pass point (4,3)
basic formula: y = a(x - h)² + k
y = a (x-0)² + 5
y = ax² + 5 pass (4,3)
3 = 16a + 5
a = (3-5)/16 = -1/8
equation: y = -1/8 x² + 5
check: pass another point (-4,3)
-1/8 * (-4)² + 5 = -2 + 5 = 3
