There are 4 vertices of a square to the right.
For x = 4, then it means 3 to the fourth power or 3 times 3 times 3 times 3 times 3. 3^4 = 81 and 8 times that is 648.
y(x) = 8 * 3^x where x = 4:
y(x) = 8 * 3^4 = 8 * 81
y(x) = 648
The Function Rule then being that for every value of x there is one and only one value of y. y is the dependent variable and x is the independent variable.
Answer:
x = 1 or x = -5
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given;
- The quadratic equation, x² + 4x - 13 = -8
We are required to solve the equation using the completing square method.
To do this, we use the following steps;
Step 1: We make sure the coefficient of x² is one
x² + 4x - 13 = -8
Step 2: Combine the like terms (take the constant term to the other side)
x² + 4x - 13 = -8
x² + 4x = -8 + 13
we get
x² + 4x = 5
Step 3: We add the square of half the coefficient of x on both sides of the equation
Coefficient of x = 4
Half of coefficient of x = 2
Square of half the coefficient of x = 2² (4)
We get;
x² + 4x + (2²) = 5 + (2²)
Step 4: Put x and 2 under one square and the solve the other side of the equation.
We get
(x + 2)² = 5 + 4
(x + 2)² = 9
Step 5: Get the square root on both sides of the equation;
(x + 2)² = 9
√(x + 2)² = ±√9
(x + 2)= ±3
Therefore;
x+2 = + 3 or x + 2 = -3
Thus, x = 1 or -5
The solution of the equation is x = 1 or x = -5
Answer:
