Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for the value of
:

-Switch sides:


-Add
on both sides:


Therefore, the value of
is
.
Answer:
The signup fee is $17
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The equation in point slope form is equal to

where
m is the slope or unit rate of the linear equation
(x1,y1) is a ordered pair of the line
Let
x -----> the number of months
y -----> the total cost of a gym membership
In this problem we have
The slope of unit rate is equal to

The ordered pair is

substitute
----> equation in point slope form
Convert to slope intercept form
---> equation in slope intercept form
The y-intercept is the signup fee (value of y when the value of x is equal to zero)
therefore
The signup fee is $17

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
An odd function is symmetrical about the origin:
f(-x) = -f(x)
So, ...
f(-2) = -f(2) = -2
f(-3) = -f(3) = -1
f(-4) = -f(4) = -2
f(-6) = -f(6) = -3
Answer:
yes
Step-by-step explanation:
You can always separate an equation into two parts and see where those graphs intersect.
Joel's method works well.

<em>Additional comments</em>
Preston should know that the invention of logarithms makes it easy to solve equations like this. x = log₂(14) = log(14)/log(2) ≈ 3.8073549.
As for Joel's method, I prefer to subtract the right side to get the equation ...
2^x -14 = 0
Then graphing y = 2^x -14, I look for the x-intercept. Most graphing calculators make it easy to find x- and y-intercepts. Not all make it easy to find points of intersection between different curves.
