4¹ = 4
4² = 16
4³ = 64
4⁴ = 256
(4⁵ = 1,024 too big)
The x coordinate of S will be 1/2 * 2a = a.
and since the half triangle is 30-60-90 the y coordinate will be sqrt3 a
so S is (a , sqrt3a)
4 and 2 are the porportions
If you would like to calculate 6/(x+1)-5/2=6/(3x+3), you can do this using the following steps:
6/(x+1)-5/2=6/(3x+3)
6/(x+1)-5/2=6/(3(x+1)) /*(x+1)
6 - 5/2 * (x+1) = 6/3
6 - 2 = 5/2 * (x+1)
4 = 5/2 * (x+1) /*2/5
4 * 2/5 = x + 1
8/5 - 1 = x
x = 8/5 - 5/5 = 3/5
The correct result would be 3/5.
