Answer:

a=-2

We move all terms to the left:

2(2a+3)-6-(5a+2)=0

We multiply parentheses

4a-(5a+2)+6-6=0

We get rid of parentheses

4a-5a-2+6-6=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-1a-2=0

We move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right

-a=2

a=2/-1

a=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

Graphing Natural Exponential Functions In Exercise, sketch the graph of the function.
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Graph:  f(x) = 1 - ex

You meant f(x) = 1 - e^x, where ^ represents exponentiation.

First, graph the parent function y = e^x.  The y-intercept of this graph is (0, 1), and the x-axis is the horizontal intercept.  The graph begins on the left in Quadrant 2 and continues upward in Quadrant 1.

Next, reflect this graph in the x-axis, due to the - sign in f(x) = 1 - e^x.  The y-intercept is (0, -1) and the horizontal asymptote is the x-axis.

Finally, translate the whole graph upward by 1 unit.
