Answer:
Decreasing from x = 1 to x = 6.
Step-by-step explanation:
(1 - 2x)⁴
(1 - 2x)(1 - 2x)(1 - 2x)(1 - 2x)
[1(1 - 2x) - 2x(1 - 2x)][1(1 - 2x) - 2x(1 - 2x)]
[1(1) - 1(2x) - 2x(1) - 2x(-2x)][1(1) - 1(2x) - 2x(1) - 2x(-2x)]
(1 - 2x - 2x + 4x²)(1 - 2x - 2x + 4x²)
(1 - 4x + 4x²)(1 - 4x + 4x²)
1(1 - 4x + 4x²) - 4x(1 - 4x + 4x²) + 4x²(1 - 4x + 4x²)
1(1) - 1(4x) + 1(4x²) - 4x(1) - 4x(-4x) - 4x(4x²) + 4x²(1) - 4x²(4x) + 4x²(4x²)
1 - 4x + 4x² - 4x + 16x² - 16x³ + 4x² - 16x³ + 16x⁴
1 - 4x - 4x + 4x² + 16x² + 4x² - 16x³ - 16x³ + 16x⁴
1 - 8x + 24x² - 32x³ + 16x⁴
475,536,821= (400,000,000×1) (70,000,000×1) (5,000,000×1) (500,000×1) (30,000×1) (6,000×1) (800×1) (20×1) (1×1)
Final answer: x=9
