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

A graphing calculator is another tool that can be used to solve this. I find it the quickest and easiest.

<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))
Let the length of the patio is x and width is 3/4x
So according to the equation x.3/4x = 432
x^2. 3/4 =432
x^2 =432 times 4/3
x^2 =1728/3 =576
x= 24
The length is 24 ft
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
The average speed of the Erin is 120/16 mph
Here,
Numerator = 120
Denominator = 16
mph = miles per hour
We need to find an expression expressed as a decimal.
So,

So, the final answer is
.
Yes, this is a right triangle!
The ratio is identifiable as a 3:4:5 triangle, one of the ratios to tell if a triangle is a right triangle
