Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the rate of change we: divide the change in y (output) by the change in x (input).

A = (-3 - 0) / (0 - 1) = -3 / -1 = 3

What is the value of a when we rewrite 8^x as a^-x/9

Andre45 [30]

Answer:

$a = \frac{1}{134217728}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$8^x = a^{-x/9}$

Required

Find a

Take log of both sides

$log(8^x) = log(a^{-x/9})$

Apply law of logarithm

$x\ log(8) = (-x/9) log(a)$

Divide both sides by a

$log(8) = -\frac{1}{9} log(a)$

Multiply both sides by -9

$-9\ log(8) = log(a)$

Apply law of logarithm

$log(8^{-9}) = log(a)$

Cancel out log

$8^{-9} = a$

Rewrite as:

$a = 8^{-9}$

Apply law of indices

$a = \frac{1}{8^9}$

$a = \frac{1}{134217728}$

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If the zero occur when x={5, -2, -1} then the equation must be

(x-5)(x+2)(x+1) if expansion is desired

(x^2-3x-10)(x+1)

x^3+x^2-3x^2-3x-10x-10

x^3-2x^2-13x-10
