Answer:
B. x = 0.80
Explanation:
We suspect you want the solution to the exponential equation ...
4e^(2x) +16 = 36
e^(2x) +4 = 9 . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 4 (because we can)
e^(2x) = 5 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 4
2x = ln(5) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . take natural logs
x = ln(5)/2 ≈ 0.804719 . . . . .divide by the coefficient of x
x ≈ 0.80
