What is the value of b in this equation (y^-9)^b=y^45

-5

Step-by-step explanation:

Using rules of exponents we can change this equation to

y ^ (-9 * b) = y^45

-9*b = 45

b = -5

1 number

if we use a graphing calculator, there is only one such number that satisfies the conclusion of the mean value theorem, that is, a number such that

where the right-hand side is the average rate of change of f on the interval [0.5,0.75], which is the slope of the secant line.

in the attached graph, the black line is the secant line which has its slope as the average rate of change of f on [0.5,0.75], while the orange line is the only tangent line to the graph of f in the interval that satisfies the mvt conclusion.
