Answer:
54
Step-by-step explanation:
x-1=3
2xy=24
3+24=27
27·2=54
Answer:
a) see the plots below
b) f(x) is exponential; g(x) is linear (see below for explanation)
c) the function values are never equal
Step-by-step explanation:
a) a graph of the two function values is attached
__
b) Adjacent values of f(x) have a common ratio of 3, so f(x) is exponential (with a base of 3). Adjacent values of g(x) have a common difference of 2, so g(x) is linear (with a slope of 2).
__
c) At x ≥ 1, the slope of f(x) is greater than the slope of g(x), and the value of f(x) is greater than the value of g(x), so the curves can never cross for x > 1. Similarly, for x ≤ 0, the slope of f(x) is less than the slope of g(x). Once again, f(0) is greater than g(0), so the curves can never cross.
In the region between x=0 and x=1, f(x) remains greater than g(x). The smallest difference is about 0.73, near x = 0.545, where the slopes of the two functions are equal.
Solution:
1) Simplify \frac{1}{6}x to \frac{x}{6}
y=\frac{x}{6}-2
2) Add 2 to both sides
y+2=\frac{x}{6}
3) Multiply both sides by 6
(y+2)\times 6=x
4) Regroup terms
6(y+2)=x
5) Switch sides
x=6(y+2)
Done!
Commutative, because no matter how you group the equation you will still get to same answer
