Answer: Choice A. 1/64
Work Shown:
f(x) = 4^x
f(-3) = 4^(-3)
f(-3) = 1/(4^3) ... see note below
f(-3) = 1/64
Note: I'm using the rule that a^(-b) = 1/(a^b)
Set as a proportion
16 = 12
------------------
5x+2 24
cross multiply
12(5x+2) = 16 * 24
60x +24 = 384
60x +24-24 = 384-24
60x =360
60x/60=360/60
x =6
To figure AB plug 6 into 5x+2
5x +2
5(6) + 2
30+2
32
AB = 32
I'm so sorry if this was confusing for you but just saying the answer clearly is (4,24)
U = 1
L = 0
R = -2
I = 24
M = 17
H = -3
E = 100
S = -439
O = 11
B = -6
T = -41
D = 19
C = 206
