Can you show the multiple choice one
I'm not completely sure but this is what I would do.
evaluate <span>(1/ 4)^x - 1 </span>as is. But change the (1 /2)^2x to (2/4)^2x. This way both fractions have the same denominator and in this sense, the same base. The 2/4 base still evaluates into 1/2 so nothing, mathematically, is being broken here.
Answer:
13.5
Step-by-step explanation:
72/(16/3)
If the bases ar same, assume exponents are same
if
x^z=x^m
assume z=m
so
base is both 7 therefor
3x+5=1-x
solve
add x
4x+5=1
minus 5
4x=-4
divide 4
x=-1
