Answer:
B. 1 and D. 3.
Step-by-step explanation:
The figure below shows the graphs of f(x) = 3x - 1 (red) and g(x) = 2^x (blue).
The solutions of 3x - 1 = 2^x are the points at which the two curves intersect.
The solutions are at x = 1 and x = 3.
Check:
3 × 1 - 1 = 2¹ 3 × 3 -1 = 2³
3 - 1 = 2 9 - 1 = 8
2 = 2 8 = 8
Answer:
OK, lets start by drawing a basic graph (the first one) so we can visualize.
We already know that the y coordinate of the circle's center is .
We know that the circle is tangent to the axis at
That means the x coordinate of the center has to be , as the tangent is a point on the edge of the circle that touches a line at exactly one point.
The radius is the distance from the center of the circle to its edge. We know the center's location now, it is and a point on the edge of the circle (the tangent point) which is
. so the distance between the points is 4 which is the radius (you can use the distance formula, but it's quite oblivious.)
We can imagine the circle should look like this (the second one):
Now we can piece together an equation
The equation of a circle is where
is the center and
is the radius. When we put the numbers in: we get
which can be simplified into
which is the answer.
