5+-2x=2x+-5
5=4x+-5 (add 2x to both sides)
10=4x (add 5 to both sides)
10/4=x (divide both sides by 4)
Answer: interval from -8 to 5
In interval notation, we would write [-8, 5]
The domain is the set of allowed x inputs to a function. The left-most point is (-8,0) so x = -8 is the smallest x value allowed. The largest x value allowed is x = 5 due to the point (5,0) being the right-most point.
The use of square brackets in interval notation says "include this endpoint as part of the interval".
Answer:
.95
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's start by using change of base property:
So, for 
Now, using change of base for 
You can express 
as:
Using reduction of power property:
Therefore:
As you can see the only difference between (1) and (2) is the coefficient 
:
So:
Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
f(x) = ax + b
x = 2 → f(x) = 1 and x = - 1 → f(x) = - 5 ( from the table )
Substitute these values into f(x) = ax + b, that is
2a + b = 1 → (1)
- a + b = - 5 → (2)
Subtract (2) from (1) term by term to eliminate b
3a = 6 ( divide both sides by 3 )
a = 2
Substitute a = 2 into (2) and evaluate for b
- 2 + b = - 5 ( add 2 to both sides )
b = - 3
(b)
When x maps onto itself then
ax + b = x, that is
2x - 3 = x ( subtract x from both sides )
x - 3 = 0 ( add 3 to both sides )
x = 3
Thus a = 2, b = - 3 and x = 3
