In the equation 6x – 2 = –4x + 2, Spencer claims that the first step is to add 4x to both sides. Jeremiah claims that the first

step is to subtract 6x from both sides. Who is correct? Explain.

If you would like to know who is correct, you can find this using the following step:

<span>6x - 2 = -4x + 2

Spencer: 
</span>6x - 2 = -4x + 2       /+4x
6x - 2 + 4x = -4x + 2 + 4x
10x - 2 = 2

Jeremiah:
6x - 2 = -4x + 2      /-6x
6x - 2 - 6x = -4x + 2 - 6x
-2 = -10x + 2

They both are correct. But in Jeremiah's version of solving the equation, we would have to multiply equation by -1 (or add 10x to both sides), which we don't have to do in the Spencer's version.

Sample Response: Both are correct. As long as inverse operations and the properties of equality are used properly, both methods will generate the same solution. They both isolate the variable on one side of the equation.

the points (0,1), (1,5), (2,25), (3,125) are on the graph of a function which equation represent that function
8090 [49]

f(x) = 5^{x}

note the range is {1, 5, 25, 125 } which can be expressed as

{ 5^{0}, 5^{1}, 5^{2}, 5^{3} }

the exponents being the domain { 0, 1, 2, 3 }

thus f(x) = 5^{x} an exponential function
