Answer:

x ≈ 0.309906932381 or 4

Step-by-step explanation:

There are no algebraic methods of solving a mixed exponential and polynomial equation. The value of x can be found by guessing, or by other means such as trial and error or graphing.

Attached is a graph showing two solutions. x = 4 is the integer solution (2^4 = 4·4). The irrational solution is approximately x ≈ 0.309906932381. That precision is obtained by Newton's method iteration, easily done by a graphing calculator.

If y varies inversely as x, and y=10 when x=2, find y when x=8

dedylja [7]

$\bf \qquad \qquad \textit{inverse proportional variation}\\\\
\textit{\underline{y} varies inversely with \underline{x}}\qquad \qquad y=\cfrac{k}{x}\impliedby 
\begin{array}{llll}
k=constant\ of\\
\qquad variation
\end{array}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\textit{we also know that }
\begin{cases}
y=10\\
x=2
\end{cases}\implies 10=k2\implies \cfrac{10}{2}=k\implies 5=k
\\\\\\
therefore\qquad \boxed{y=\cfrac{5}{x}}
\\\\\\
\textit{when x = 8, what is \underline{y}?}\qquad y=\cfrac{5}{8}$

100 POINTS IF YOU ANSWER CORRECTLY Rotate these coordinates 180 around the origin and then translate 6 units to the left.

snow_tiger [21]

Original Coordinates: (-2, -8) (-6, -8) (-11, -1) (-7, -3)

A 180 degree rotation around the origin flips the signs of x and y, so you get:

(2, 8) (6, 8) (11, 1) (7, 3)

Then a translation to the left 6 units just subtracts 6 from all the x values:

(-4, 8) (0, 8) (5, 1) (1, 3)

Those are your points! Hope this helped!
