Answer:
Explanation:
Follow PEMDAS in reverse to undo what's happening to x.
We first add 1 to both sides, then divide both sides by 5 to fully isolate x.
Refer to the steps below to see what I mean.
The inequality sign stays the same the entire time. The only time it flips is when you divide both sides by a negative number.
The solution set for x is anything -3 or larger.
If x was an integer, then we could say the solution set is {-3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, ...}
Answer:
The slope also increases
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope of a function is the ratio of change in y to change in x. For an exponential function f(x) = e^x, the slope of the function is equal to the function, i.e slope = e^x.
For a function represented by , this is an exponential function representing growth, the slope of
is also
, therefore as the value of x increases, the value of the slope also increases.
At x = 1, slope = 2^1 = 2, At x = 4, slope = 2^4 = 16.
