x^-m=1/(x^m)
6 times x^-2=6 times 1/(x^2)=6/(x^2)=
Answer:
3) Prove the lengths are the same.
Step-by-step explanation:
Congruent is a measure of the lengths of the sides not the slopes.
Assume that the rule connecting height of the candle to time is a linear one. If you do, then we have to find the equation of this line, and then use this equation to predict the height of the candle after 11 hours.
Two points on this line are (6,17.4) and (23, 7.2). The slope is thus
7.2-17.4 -6
m = --------------- = ----------- or -3/5.
23-6 10
Find the equation of the line. I'm going to use the slope-intercept formula:
y = mx + b => 7.2 = (-3/5)(23) + b. Solving for b, b = 21.
Now we know that y = (-3/5)x + 21
Let x=11 to predict the height of the candle at that time.
y = (-3/5)(11) + 21 = 14.4 inches (answer)
Bobby should grow an amount greater than 70-61 = 9 inches to become taller than 70 inches. Therefore, the correct answer is that Bobby must grow an amount of x> 9 inches to be taller than 70 inches.
