The answer:
by definition, an exponential function with base c is defined by <span>h (x) = ac^x</span><span>
where a ≠0, c > 0 , b ≠1, and x is any real number.</span>
The base, c, is a constant and the exponent, x<span>, is a variable.
</span>so if we have f(x)=3(3\8)^2x, this equivalent to f(x)=3(3\8)^y(x),
where y (x)=2x, <span>
therefore, the base is 3/8, and the variable is the function </span>y (x)=2x,
Answer:
x = -1/2 x=-1
Step-by-step explanation:
2x( x+1.5) = -1
Distribute
2x^2 + 3x = -1
Add 1 to each side
2x^2 +3x+1 = 0
Factor
(2x+1) (x+1) =0
Using the zero product property
2x+1 = 0 x+1=0
2x = -1 x=-1
x = -1/2 x=-1
Distribute the 12 by multiplying so it would be 96b-60 and they aren’t like terms so that’s as far as you can go
12x12 + 12x12 = 288 = root of 288= 16.97
