let's bear in mind that an absolute value expression is in effect a piece-wise expression,  namely it has a ± versions of the same expression.

\bf 5|3x-4| = x+1\implies |3x-4|=\cfrac{x+1}{5}\implies \begin{cases} +(3x-4)=\cfrac{x+1}{5}\\[1em] -(3x-4)=\cfrac{x+1}{5} \end{cases} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ +(3x-4)=\cfrac{x+1}{5}\implies 3x-4=\cfrac{x+1}{5}\implies 15x-20=x+1 \\\\\\ 14x-20=1\implies 14x=21\implies x = \cfrac{21}{14}\implies \boxed{x=\cfrac{3}{2}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ -(3x-4)=\cfrac{x+1}{5}\implies -3x+4=\cfrac{x+1}{5}\implies -15x+20=x+1 \\\\\\ 20=16x+1\implies 19=16x\implies \boxed{\cfrac{19}{16}=x}

Find an exponential function of the form y = ab* that passes through the points (0,4)
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

2nd option

Step-by-step explanation:

given an exponential function in the form y = ab^{x}

to find a and b use the coordinate points it passes through

using (0, 4 ) , then

4 = ab^{0} [ b^{0} = 1 ] , that is

a = 4 , so

y = 4b^{x}

using (2, 100 )

100 = 4b² ( divide both sides by 4 )

25 = b² ( take the square root of both sides )

\sqrt{25} = b , that is

b = 5

then exponential function is

y = 4 . 5^{x}
