Answer:
A general exponential equation is written as:
f(x) = A*(r)^x
Where:
A is the initial value, this is the value that the function takes when x = 0.
r is the rate of growth
x is the variable.
In this case, the function is:
f(x) = 2*(4)^x
The initial value is:
f(0) = 2*(4)^0 = 2*1 = 2
The initial value is 2.
And the rate of growth is 4.
So Martin seems to mixed these two values (he said initial value = 4, and rate = 2, which is the opposite of what we found)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let f(x) be the polynomial function of minimum degree with real coefficients whose zeros are 5, -3, and -1 + 3i be f(x).
By the complex conjugate property of polynomials, -1-3i is also a root of this polynomial.
Therefore the polynomial in factored form is
We expand to get:
We expand further to get:\
2(16), 32, 2 x (9 + 7), 2 x 16
Answer: 42/13
Step-by-step explanation: Multiply everything by 7 to eliminate the fraction:
k+ 21 - 14k = -21
Isolate the variable:
k - 14k = -21-21
13k= -42
divide the sides by -13.
42/13
