Consider the following equation. 3^x = 2^-x + 4 If the equation is solved using successive approximation, select the value of x after the following number of iterations. 1 iteration: x = 2 iteration: x = 3 iteration: x =

The answer is something i don’t know

First step is to get rid of the square root. remember that a square root is the same as raising to the (1/2) power. see below: multiply exponents per exponent rules to get: remember you subtract exponents from the denominator and add exponents in the numerator so: simplify further: so a is the correct choice. if you don't understand this google exponent rules and it will you understand. look at the image results.
