If f(1) = 2 and f(n) = –2f(n − 1) then find the value of f(5).

dybincka [34]

Answer: 2f

Explanation:

f(1)=8

f(2)= 2(8) = 16

f(3) = 2(16) = 32

f(4) = 2(32) = 64

f(5) = 2(64) =128

4^(4x-1)=32 <br><br> How do I solve this problem? Do I do 4 to the fourth power first?

yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

$\large\boxed{x=\dfrac{7}{8}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$4^{(4x-1)}=32\\\\(2^2)^{4x-1}=2^5\qquad\text{use}\ (a^n)^m=a^{nm}\\\\2^{2(4x-1)}=2^5\iff2(4x-1)=5\ \ \text{use the distributive property}\ a(b+c)=ab+ac\\\\(2)(4x)+(2)(-1)=5\\\\8x-2=5\qquad\text{add 2 to both sides}\\\\8x=7\qquad\text{divide both sides by 8}\\\\x=\dfrac{7}{8}$

|1/2b-8|=|1/4b-1|<br> b=____ and ____

Deffense [45]

Answer:

b = 12 and 28

Step-by-step explanation:

The absolute value equation |1/2b-8| = |1/4b-1| resolves to a piecewise linear function with three pieces. There are two solutions.

<h3>Domains</h3>

The absolute value function on the left has a turning point where its value is zero:

1/2b -8 = 0

b -16 = 0

b = 16

The absolute value function on the right has a turning point where its value is zero:

1/4b -1 = 0

b -4 = 0

b = 4

For b > 16, both absolute value functions are identity functions. In this domain, the equation is ...

1/2b -8 = 1/4b -1

For 4 < b < 16, the function on the left negates its argument, so the equation in this domain is ...

-(1/2b -8) = 1/4b -1

For b < 4, both functions negate their arguments, so the equation in this domain is ...

-(1/2b -8) = -(1/4b -1)

For the purpose of finding the value of b, this is effectively identical to the equation for b > 16. (The value of b does not change if we multiply both sides of the equation by -1.)

<h3>Solutions</h3>

<u>Domain b < 4 ∪ 16 < b</u>

1/2b -8 = 1/4b -1

2b -32 = b -4 . . . . . . . . multiply by 4

b = 28 . . . . . . . . . . . . add 32-b to both sides

This solution is in the domain of the equation, so is one of the solutions to the original equation.

<u>Domain 4 < b < 16</u>

-(1/2b -8) = 1/4b -1 . . . . equation in this domain

-2b +32 = b -4 . . . . . . multiply by 4

36 = 3b . . . . . . . . . . . add 2b+4 to both sides

12 = b . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 3

This solution is in the domain of the equation, so is the other solution to the original equation.

<h3>Graph</h3>

For the purposes of the graph, we have define the function g(b) to be the difference of the two absolute value functions. The solutions are found where g(x) = 0, the x-intercepts. The graph shows those to be ...

b = 12 and b = 28

__

<em>Additional comment</em>

Defining g(b) = |1/2b-8| -|1/4b-1|, we can rewrite it as ...

$g(b)=\begin{cases}7-\dfrac{1}{4}b&\text{for }b < 4\\-\dfrac{3}{4}b+9&\text{for }4\le b < 16\\\dfrac{1}{4}b-7&\text{for }16\le b\end{cases}$

Then the solutions are the values of b that make g(b) = 0.

Jacob is a construction worker who earns a yearly Income given by the expression 2000x + 6000, where X is the number of

satela [25.4K]

Answer:

Answer:

The manager's prediction is false

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Jacob: 2000x + 4000

Carlos: 3500x - 40000

Required

Determine if both expression will be the same if x = 35

To do this;

Equate both expressions and then solve for x

i.e.

2000x+4000=3500x-40000

Collect Like Terms

2000x+4000=3500x-40000

-1500x=-44000

Divide both sides by -1500

$\frac{-1500}{-1500} = \frac{-44000}{-1500} \\= \frac{-44000}{-1500}\\x= -29.3$

Hence, the manager's prediction is not true because x $\neq$ 35
