D) increase the thrust force and increase the mass of the rocket.
Any number that makes an equation true is a "solution of an equation" it id a solution....(i hope this helps) *smiles*
When you evaluate the function f (x) = 4 • 7 ^ x for x = -1 you get:
f (-1) = 4 * 7 ^ -1
f(-1) = 4* 1/7
f (-1) = 0.5714
The next part of the question is not clear. If it refers to the function at x = 2 then:
f (2) = 4 * 7 ^ (2)
f(2) =4*49
f (2) = 196
If it refers to it in x ^ 2
f (x ^ 2) = 4 * 7 ^ (x ^ 2)
The product of 3 1/5 and 5/8 is 2.
