6) If 4^x = 2^y and 9^x-1 = 3^x+1, which of the following are the values of x and y?
:
In the 1st equation, we can write 4^x as 2^(2x), so we have
2^(2x) = 2^y
Therefore:
2x = y
:
In the 2nd equation, the same:
3^(2(x-1)) = 3^(x+1)
therefore
2(x-1) = x + 1
2x - 2 = x + 1
2x - x = 1 + 2
x = 3
2x = y, therefore
y = 6

7)When David was born, his grandparents deposited $1,000 in a college account that promised 4 percent interest compounded annually for 18 years. Which of the following equations shows the worth of the account when David is 18?
:
The interest is added to the accumulated amt each year for 18 yrs, therefore:
(d) 1000*(1.04)^18
