Answer:
The answer is 
.
Step-by-step explanation:
The distance formula:

.
☆All we need to do is plug in!

L(m) = 1.5 + 2m.....when snake is 8 months..m = 8
L(8) = 1.5 + 2(8)
L(8) = 1.5 + 16
L(8) = 17.5 inches <==
L(m) = 1.5 + 2m....length is 25.5.....L(m) = 25.5
25.5 = 1.5 + 2m
25.5 - 1.5 = 2m
24 = 2m
24/2 = m
12 = m ....12 months <==
Answer: y= (x+2)² −
5
Step-by-step explanation:
The way I got this answer is by completing the square. The first step though, when looking at this equation, is to see if we can factor it. The way to check is to look at the coefficient for x² which is 1, and the constant, in this case -1. If we multiply those together, we get −. Now we look at the middle term, 4x. We need to find any numbers that multiply to equal − 1x² and add to 4x. There aren't any, which means it is not factorable.
Hope I helped
A characteristics of an exponential decay function is it has a constant term that is lesser than 1, this is because when you raise it a number that is lesser than 1 to higher values the result will be lesser and lesser, that is why it is called decay function. so the decay functions are a. f(x)=0.9^x and d. <span>j(x)=(4/5)^x</span>
Number 1 is d number 2 would be a
