Use the properties of exponents to determine which functions (if any) are the same.
f(x)= 3^x + 11
g(x) = 2^(3x+5)
h(x)= 32(8^x)
a. f(x) = g(x)
b. f(x) = h(x)
c. g(x)=h(x)
d. All three functions are equal
e. None of the functions are equal



Answer :

Answer:

c.  g(x) = h(x)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given functions:

[tex]f(x) = 3^x+11[/tex]

[tex]g(x)=2^{3x+5}[/tex]

[tex]h(x)=32(8^x)[/tex]

Rewrite function g(x) using exponent rules.

[tex]\textsf{Apply exponent rule} \quad a^{b+c}=a^b \cdot a^c:[/tex]

[tex]\implies g(x)=2^{3x} \cdot 2^5[/tex]

[tex]\implies g(x)=2^{3x} \cdot 32[/tex]

[tex]\textsf{Apply exponent rule} \quad a^{bc}=(a^b)^c:[/tex]

[tex]\implies g(x)=(2^3)^{x} \cdot 32[/tex]

[tex]\implies g(x)=8^{x} \cdot 32[/tex]

[tex]\implies g(x)=32(8^{x})[/tex]

Therefore, g(x) = h(x).
