The two congruent base angles tell us that this is an isosceles triangle, meaning the triangle has two congruent sides. Therefore, we can set these two expressions equal to each other and solve from there.
15x + 7 = 23x - 17
7 = 8x - 17
8x = 24
x = 3
Side = 15(3) + 7 = 45 + 7 = 52
Hope this helps!
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
transform the parent graph of f(x) = ln x into f(x) = - ln (x - 4) by shifting the parent graph 4 units to the right and reflecting over the x-axis
(???, 0): 0 = - ln (x - 4)
0 = ln (x - 4)
1 = x - 4
<u> +4 </u> <u> +4 </u>
5 = x
(5, 0)
(???, 1): 1 = - ln (x - 4)
1 = ln (x - 4)
e = x - 4
<u> +4 </u> <u> +4 </u>
e + 4 = x
6.72 = x
(6.72, 1)
Domain: x - 4 > 0
<u> +4 </u> <u>+4 </u>
x > 4
(4, ∞)
Vertical asymptotes: there are no vertical asymptotes for the parent function and the transformation did not alter that
No vertical asymptotes

transform the parent graph of f(x) = 3ˣ into f(x) = - 3ˣ⁺⁵ by shifting the parent graph 5 units to the left and reflecting over the x-axis
Domain: there is no restriction on x so domain is all real number
(-∞, ∞)
Range: there is a horizontal asymptote for the parent graph of y = 0 with range of y > 0. the transformation is a reflection over the x-axis so the horizontal asymptote is the same (y = 0) but the range changed to y < 0.
(-∞, 0)
Y-intercept is when x = 0:
f(x) = - 3ˣ⁺⁵
= - 3⁰⁺⁵
= - 3⁵
= -243
Horizontal Asymptote: y = 0 <em>(explanation above)</em>
