What is the exact solution to the equation 4^5x=3^(x-2)
list the steps to get the answer

x = -0.377

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the equation:

4^(5*x) = 3^(x - 2)

Now we can use the fact that:

Ln(A^x) = x*Ln(A)

Then we can apply Ln(.) to both sides of the equation to get:

Ln(4^(5*x)) = Ln(3^(x - 2))

(5*x)*Ln(4) = (x - 2)*Ln(3)

(5*x)*Ln(4) - x*Ln(3) = -2*Ln(3)

x*(5*Ln(4) - Ln(3)) = -2*Ln(3)

x = -2*Ln(3)/(5*Ln(4) - Ln(3)) = -0.377

the formula of a slope:

from a table we have

substitute:

the slope of f(x) is -1.

the graph of funcfion g(x) is a horizontal line. the slope of a horizontal line is equal 0. therefore the slope of g(x) is 0.

-1 < 0
