Afunction is shown in the table.

x g(x)
−3 17
−1 −3
0 −4
2 13

which of the following is a true statement for this function?
the function is increasing from x = −3 to x = −1.
the function is increasing from x = −1 to x = 0.
the function is decreasing from x = 0 to x = 2.
the function is decreasing from x = −3 to x = −1.

answer: solve 5\cdot 2^x=2405⋅2  

x

=2405, dot, 2, start superscript, x, end superscript, equals, 240.

solution

to solve for xxx, we must first isolate the exponential part. to do this, divide both sides by 555 as shown below. we do not multiply the 555 and the 222 as this goes against the order of operations!

\begin{aligned} 5\cdot 2^x& =240 2^x& =48 \\ \end{aligned}  

5⋅2
