Use your graphing utility to graph each side of the equation in the same viewing rectangle. Then use the \(x\) -coordinate of the intersection point to find the equation's solution set. Verify this value by direct substitution into the equation. $$3^{x}=2 x+3$$
Determine whether each statement "makes sense" or "does not make sense" and explain your reasoning. I can use any positive number other than 1 in the changeof-base property, but the only practical bases are 10 and \(e\) because my calculator gives logarithms for these two bases.
I can solve \(4^{x}=15\) by writing the equation in logarithmic form.
$$\text { Divide and simplify: } \frac{\sqrt[3]{40 x^{2} y^{6}}}{\sqrt[3]{5 x y}}$$
