PLEASE HELP ASAP PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE If you have one apple, and someone gives you three more apples, how many apples do you have? __4__ This is the same idea as adding variables. x+3x = . The exponent does not change when adding.

However, when you multiply, you the exponents. For example x · x · x · =___ Simplifying Negative Exponents : 2^-3 = 1 = 1/8

Write an example for each rule:

First blank- 4x

Second blank- combine

Third blank- X

Hope this helps :3

step-by-step explanation:

we need to solve for 'x' the following equation:  

we have that:

⇒

⇒ ⇒

factorizing, we get that:

  ⇒

then, the solutions are: or

nothing extraneous has been found!

answer: yes, since the line has a steeper rate of change than the exponential the y-values will be greater and they will only intersect one time.
