The graphs below have the same shapes. the equation of the blue graph is f(x)=2^x. which of these is the equation of the red graph, g(x)?

a - base

b - exponent

so,

5=812a+9+3

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

5=812a+9+3

5=(812a)+(9+3)(combine like terms)

5=812a+12

5=812a+12

step 2: flip the equation.

812a+12=5

step 3: subtract 12 from both sides.

812a+12−12=5−12

812a=−7

step 4: divide both sides by 812.

812a /812 = -7/812

a= -1/116

so the answer is

a=   -1/116

answer4 to the second power is 16

and 4 to the third power is 64,
