Answer:
x ≈ -4.419
Step-by-step explanation:
Separate the constants from the exponentials and write the two exponentials as one. (This puts x in one place.) Then use logarithms.
0 = 2^(x-1) -3^(x+1)
3^(x+1) = 2^(x-1) . . . . . add 3^(x+1)
3×3^x = (1/2)2^x . . . . .factor out the constants
(3/2)^x = (1/2)/3 . . . . . divide by 3×2^x
Take the log:
x·log(3/2) = log(1/6)
x = log(1/6)/log(3/2) . . . . . divide by the coefficient of x
x ≈ -4.419

<em>Comment on alternate solution</em>
Once you get the exponential terms on opposite sides of the equal sign, you can take logs at that point, if you like. Then solve the resulting linear equation for x.
(x+1)log(3) = (x-1)log(2)
x=(log(2)+log(3))/(log(2)-log(3))
First start by subtracting:
50-8=42
the new equation is:
6x=42
then divide:
42/6=7
So the answer is:
x=7

The line goes down 3 over to the right 4
-3/4
Choice B
The slope is -500. The bird descends......
3 boxes are filled every 4 minutes
.75 boxes are filled per minute
3 laps per minute is line B
66+52+x=180
118+x=180
x=180-118
x=62
Hope this helps :)
