Exponential functions look somewhat similar to functions you have seen before, in that they involve exponents, but there is a big difference, in that the variable is now the power, rather than the base. Previously, you have dealt with such functions as<span> f(x) = x2</span><span>, where the variable </span>x<span> was the base and the number </span>2<span> was the power. In the case of exponentials, however, you will be dealing with functions such as </span><span>g(x) = 2</span>x, where the base is the fixed number, and the power is the variable.
<span>Let's look more closely at the function </span><span>g(x) = 2</span>x<span>. To evaluate this function, we operate as usual, picking values of </span>x<span>, plugging them in, and simplifying for the answers. But to evaluate </span>2x<span>, we need to remember how exponents work. In particular, we need to remember that </span>negative exponents<span> mean "put the base on the other side of the fraction line".

Listed price = $1.4 million
Down payment = 20% of $1.4 million = 0.2 x 1,400,000 = 280,000
Amount left to pay = $1.4 million - 280,000 = $1,120,000
Present value of an annuity is given by PV = P(1 - (1 + r/t)^-nt) / r
where: PV = $1,120,000
r = 5% = 0.05
t = 12
n = 30 years.
1,120,000 = P(1 - (1 + 0.05/12)^-(12 x 30)) / 0.05
1,120,000 x 0.05 = P(1 - (1 + 1/240)^-360)
56,000 = P(1 - 0.2238)
P = 56,000 / 0.7761 = 72,148.83
Therefore, the monthly payment is $72,148.83
Well, your equation y=3/SQRT(3x+4) should be rationalized, but that's not what you want.
If f(x) = 3/SQRT(x+4) and g(x) = 3x
f(g(x)) then = 3/SQRT(3x+4), but rationalizing this = 3SQRT(3x+4)/(3x+4)
Answer:
x = -6
y = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Using substitution method.
2x + y = -4 -----------(I)
y = - 4 - 2x -----------(II)
5x + 3y = -6 -------------------(III)
Substitute y = -4 -2x in equation (III)
5x + 3(-4-2x) = - 6
5x - 12 - 6x = -6
5x - 6x - 12 = -6
Combine like terms
-x - 12 = -6 {Add 12 to both sides}
-x = -6 + 12
-x = 6 {Multiply by (-1)}
x = -6
Substitute x = -6 in equation (II)
y = - 4 - 2*(-6)
= -4 + 12
y = 8
-3-(-8) would equal 5.
-26-30 would equal -56.
