-5 is the answer to your question because all you do is plug in -2 into your equation for x
The correct answer for the question that is being presented above is this one: "x = 2; a = 5; b = 3" A 5 inch tall bamboo shoot doubles in height every 3 days. If the equation y=ab^x, where x is the number of doubling periods, represents the height of the bamboo shoot
Answer:
-8p^4+12p^3+4p^4-8p^2+3p^2
=-8p^4+4p^4+12p^3-8p^2+3p^2
=-4p^4+12p^3-5p^2
=p^2(-4p^2+12p-5)
note: If you have to solve for X
there are steps according to formula
