Answer:

  • 5 in
  • 11 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the length of the shorter base in inches. Then the longer base has length x+6. The area of the trapezoid is given by the formula ...

  A = (1/2)(b1 +b2)h

Filling in the values we know, we have ...

  48 = (1/2)(x +(x+6))(6)

  16 = 2x +6 . . . . . divide by 3

  10 = 2x . . . . . . . . subtract 6

  5 = x . . . . . . . . . . divide by 2

  (x+6) = 11 . . . . . . find the longer base

The lengths of the bases are 5 inches and 11 inches. We found them by solving an equation relating area to base length.

Which statements accurately describe the function f(x) = 3(18)*? Select three options.
Yanka [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Without the variable x, your "f(x) = 3(18)*" is not a function.  If you meant

f(x) = 3(18)^x, then the domain is "the set of all real numbers," and the range is (0, infinity).

the initial value is 3:  f(0) = 3(18)^0 = 3(1) = 3
