Answer:

  f(x) = 4·3^x

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume the function will be of the form ...

  f(x) = a·b^x

Substituting the given values, we can find 'a' and 'b'.

  4/9 = a·b^(-2)

  108 = a·b^3

Dividing the second equation by the first gives ...

  108/(4/9) = b^(3 -(-2))

  243 = b^5

  b = 3 . . . . . . 5th root

Using the second equation, we can find 'a':

  108 = a·3^3 = 27a

  a = 108/27 = 4

The formula for the exponential function is ...

  f(x) = 4·3^x

Start with the parent function f(x) = x³

Notice the function f(x) = (x - 4)³ that a value '4' is subtracted from 'x' ⇒ This means the function f(x) is translated four units to the right.

Then the function f(x) = ¹/₂ (x - 4)³, the function (x - 4)³ is halved vertically ⇒ Half the y-coordinate

Then the function f(x) = ¹/₂ (x - 4)³ + 5 that a value '5' is added to ¹/₂ (x - 4)³ ⇒ This means the function f(x)  is translated five units up

So the order of transformation that is happening to f(x) = x³ is translation four units to the right, half the y-coordinate, then translate 5 units up.

3x+7=5x-21
schepotkina [342]
Just get only one of  the placeholder on one side by itself
and do the same thing to both sides so it stays equal
3x+7=5x-21
add 21 to both sides
3x+28=5x
subtract 3x from obht sides
28=2x
sivide both sides by 2
14=x
