Well, since it's already set up, all we do is divide -6 by 3/4 to get our x
So that means x=-8

Hi there,
We can start off by first rewriting the equation:
3/4x = -6
First, we use the multiplication property of equality to multiply the reciprocal of 3/4, which is 4/3 to -6.
x = -6 × 4/3
Now, we just simplify,
x = -24/3 => x = -8
Therefore, the answer to your query is x = -8. Hope this helps!

Decide if the function is an exponential growth function or exponential decay function, and describe its end behavior using limi

Tems11 [23]

Answer:

Exponential Decay

Its end behavior on the left is as follows as x approaches negative infinity y approaches positive infinity. Its end behavior on the right is as follows as x approaches positive infinity y approaches negative infinity.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can graph the function by graphing two points when x=0 and x=1.

x=0 has $y=7^{-x} =7^{0} =1$

x=1 has y= $7^{-x} =7^{-1} =\frac{1}{7}$

This function starts with higher output values and decreases over time. This is Exponential Decay. Its end behavior on the left is as follows as x approaches negative infinity y approaches positive infinity. Its end behavior on the right is as follows as x approaches positive infinity y approaches negative infinity.

Solve for x: 2(x + 3)2 − 4 = 0

asambeis [7]

Answer:

Option D) x = −4.41, −1.59

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following expression in the question:

$2(x + 3)^2 - 4 = 0$

Solving the above expression, we get:

$2(x + 3)^2 - 4 = 0\\2(x^2+9+6x)-4=0\\\text{Identity: }(a+b)^2 = a^2 + b^2 + 2ab\\2x^2+18+12x-4=0\\2x^2+12x+14=0\\\text{Using the quadratic formula:}\\ax^2 + bx +_ c = 0\\\\x = \displaystyle\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\\\\text{Puting a = 2, b = 12, c = 14}\\\\x = \displaystyle\frac{-12\pm \sqrt{(12)^2-4(2)(14)}}{2(2)}\\\\x = \frac{-12 \pm 5.65}{4}\\\\x = \frac{-12 + 5.65}{4}, \frac{-12-5.65}{4} = -1.5875, -4.4125 \approx -1.59, -4.14$
