Is the function ƒ(x) = (4)x – 2 an exponential function? if so, identify the base. if not, why not?

Identify the converse of the following conditional: if a point is in the first quadrant, then its coordinates are positive. if the coordinates of a point are not positive, then the point is not in the first quadrant. if the coordinates of a point are positive, then the point is in the first quadrant. if a point is in the first quadrant, then its coordinates are positive. if a point is not in the first quadrant, then the coordinates of the point are not positive.

Which simplifys to a+ b? a-(1-b)+1 -(1-a)-b+1 (a--1) -1)+1

Simply 8x squared + 5(7x squared- x) - 2x =
