The numbers start from the top
Answer:
a) There is no a word problem for both expressions (
and
), b) A bottle contains 25.4 fluid ounces of shampoo. Katie uses 0.75 of the bottle. How much shampoo is left? A bottle contains 25.4 fluid ounces of shampoo. Katie uses 0.25 fluid ounces of the bottle. How much shampoo is left?
Step-by-step explanation:
a) The shampoo problem is a word problem for:
(Final content) = (Initial content) - (Used content)
Then,

Or:

Hence, there is no a word problem for both expressions (
and
).
b) The word problem for
is:
A bottle contains 25.4 fluid ounces of shampoo. Katie uses 0.75 of the bottle. How much shampoo is left?
The word problem for
is:
A bottle contains 25.4 fluid ounces of shampoo. Katie uses 0.25 fluid ounces of the bottle. How much shampoo is left?
To graph it, just graph

and

and see where they intersect
I would like to solve it by using math and not graphing
if you don't want to see the math, just don't scroll down
the graphical meathod is above, first line, just read it
hmm
multiply both sides by -1

multiply both sides by



minus 1 from both sides and minus 6(3^x) from both sides

use u subsitution

we can rewrite it as

now factor
I mean use quadratic formula
for

so for 0=u^2-16u-1, a=1, b=-16, c=-1


remember that u=3^x so u>0
if we have u=8+√65, it's fine, but u=8-√65 is negative and not allowed
so therfor


if you take the log base 3 of both sides you get

if you use ln then

then
