2^x [(x+1)^3 -1] =2^x - (x+1)^3 + 1 Evaluate the expression of both of the whole number X values. One will be negative and the other positive. Identify the negative value as a lower bound and a positive value as a upper bound.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

2^x [(x+1)³ -1] = 2^x - (x+1)³ + 1

Lep p = 2^x, and q = (x+1)³ - 1

Then the original equation becomes

pq = p - q

p - q - pq = 0

p(1 - q) - q = 0

p = q/(1 - q)

2^x = [(x+1)³ - 1]/[-(x+1)³]

2^x = [1 - (x+1)³]/[(x+1)³]

2^x = (x+1)^(-3) - 1

the slope of the line is 60

one point on the line is (40,10)

step-by-step explanation:

in the equation outside the parenthesis the equation always tells you the slope. in this case it is 60.

in the parenthesis is also says 40 which is x because it is near the x and 10 is y because it is near y.
