Answer: Choice A) 1/9
--------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------
Work Shown:
Replace every x with -4 and then simplify the right side
f(x) = 9(3)^x
f(-4) = 9(3)^(-4)
f(-4) = 9*(1/(3^4)) See note below
f(-4) = 9*(1/(3*3*3*3))
f(-4) = 9*(1/81)
f(-4) = 9/81
f(-4) = 9/(9*9)
f(-4) = 1/9
Note: I used the rule x^(-n) = 1/(x^n) which allows us to convert from negative exponents to positive ones.
Answer:
First number: 71/7
Second number: 135/7
Third number: 270/7
Step-by-step explanation:
First number = x
Second number= 2x-1
Third number= 2(2x-1)
x+(2x-1)+2(2x-1)= 68
3x-1+4x-2=68
7x-3=68
7x=71
x=71/7
You can check by plugging in the x into the equation.
Answer: -1/2
