The answer is y=-1/2x + 5/8
You can take the log of the left and right hand side, and then apply the <span>logarithm rules:
log(a</span>ˣ) = x·log(a)
log(ab) = log(a) + log(b)
log(9^(x-1) * 2^(2x+2)) = log(6^(3x))
log(9^(x-1)) + log(2^(2x+2)) = 3x log(6)
(x-1) log(9) + (2x+2) log(2) - 3x log(6) = 0
x(log9 + 2log2 - 3log6) = log9 - 2log2
x = (log9 - 2log2) / (log9 + 2log2 - 3log6)
simplifying by writing log9 = 2log3 and log6 = log2+log3
x= 2(log3 - log2) / (2log3 + 2log2 - 3log2 - 3log3) =
x= -2(log3 - log2) / (log3 + log2) = -2 log(3/2) / log(6)
So 6^x = 4/9
x is less than or equal to -4 or x is greater than or equal to 5
x <= -4 or x>= 5
There is no intersection of both inequalities when we graph it in number line So, we write the interval notation separately for each inequality
for x<=-4 , x starts at -4 and goes to -infinity because we have less than symbol. Also we have = sign so we use square brackets
Interval notation is (-∞ , -4]
for x>= 5 , x starts at 5 and goes to infinity because we have greater than symbol. Also we have = sign so we use square bracket at 5
Interval notation is [5 , ∞)
Now combine both notation by a 'U' symbol Union
(-∞ , -4] U [5 , ∞)
