Question 744778
Solve each equation in part analytically. Then solve the associated inequalities in parts (b) and (c). 
(a)(1/2)^-x=(1/4)^x+1
-----
2^x = (2^-2)^(x+1)
------
2^x = 2^(-2x-2)
------
x = -2x-2
3x = -2
x = -2/3
===================

 
(b) (1/2)^-1> or = to (1/4)^x+1
----------------
2 or (2^-2)^(x+1)
-----
2 or 2^(-2x-2)
=======================

 
(c) (1/2)^-x< or =to (1/4)^x+1. 
----
2^x or 2^(-2x-2)
===================================
