I would use the quadratic formula for this:
x = -b ± √b² - 4ac over 2a
x = 8 ± √64 - 4(1)(0) over 2(1)
x = 8 ± √64 over 2
x = 8 <span>± 8 over 2 [simplify]
x = 4 </span><span>± 4
x1 = 4 + 4 x2 = 4 - 4
x1 = 8 x2 = 0
Thus, the solutions for x would be 0 and 8.</span>
3 4
—- = —-
x 5
cross multiply 3 and 5 = 15
and 4 and x = 4x
you get 15=4x
x= 15/4
With this line, we see that when x is a small negative number, F(x) is a very large negative number, or B.
Remember that F(x) is the same as y. And looking at the pattern of the line, the greater the negative x is, the smaller the negative y is.
Answer:
-5^ -1 = 1/(-5) = -1/5
-1/y^(-4) = -(1/(1/y^4)) = -y^4
5^4 x 5^7 = 5^(4 + 7) = 5^11
Hope this helps!
