Answers:Part A: The value of x is 0.Part B: X can be any real number.
In Part A, you have to first evaluate 7^2. This is 49. Now, write the equation 49^x = 1. We know that if you raise any number to 0, then the answer is 1.
In Part B, you have to first evaluate 7^0, that is 1. Now, we have the equation 1^x = 1. In this case, 1 raised to any exponent is still only 1. Imagine 1^17, this would be 1 times itself 17 times or just 1.
Therefore any number will work in Part B.
Adam should invest $15516 after 18 years.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Given:
Amount(18) = $20000
Rate of Interest, r = 1.41%
Time, t = 18 years
n = 365 (compounded daily)
General equation of amount that is compounded daily:

Solving for A₀:

Substituting the values:

Therefore, Adam should invest $15516 after 18 years.

Slope-intercept form: y = mx + b [m is the slope, b is the y-intercept, or the y value when x = 0 ---> (0, y)]
To find the equation's y-intercepts, you can rearrange the variables, and isolate/get y by itself
#1
cx + ay = b Subtract cx on both sides
ay = b - cx Divide a on both sides
(0,
) is your answer
Do the same for the rest, and you should get:
#2 (0,
)
#3 (0,
)
#4 (0,
)
