Math Problem Statement

what is the value of A when we rewrite 2^x-6 + 2^x as A*2^x

Solution

We are given the expression 2x6+2x2^x - 6 + 2^x, and we want to rewrite it in the form A2xA \cdot 2^x.

Step-by-step process:

  1. Start by identifying the like terms involving 2x2^x: 2x6+2x=2x+2x62^x - 6 + 2^x = 2^x + 2^x - 6
  2. Combine the 2x2^x terms: 2x+2x=22x2^x + 2^x = 2 \cdot 2^x Now the expression becomes: 22x62 \cdot 2^x - 6
  3. Factor the expression into the desired form: 2x(2)62^x (2) - 6

To match the form A2xA \cdot 2^x, we can factor out 2x2^x: A=2A = 2

Thus, the value of AA is 2.
