Answer:
a) 
b) 
Dividing both sides by 0.448 we got:
We can appy the exponent 
in both sides of the equation and we got:
Step-by-step explanation:
For this case we know the following function:
The notation is: x is the weight of the crab in grams, and the output f(x) is the weight of the claws in grams.
Part a
For this case we just need to replace x = 2 gram in the function and we got:
Part b
For this case we know tha value for 
and we want to find the value of x who satisfy this condition:
Dividing both sides by 0.448 we got:
We can appy the exponent in both sides of the equation and we got:
The answer would be D
multiply -2 and (-4m-8) to get 8m+16
then subtract -2m to get 6m+16
First you graph it using a graphing calculator, you look at the table of values to find out one point in which y= 0. The first one that comes up is when x=1.
If you don't have a graphing calculator you can use trial and error by inputing some numbers into x until you get y= 0.
Once you have an x value which makes y=0, you can start factorizing it.
you divide 6x3 +4x2 -6x - 4 into (x-1) which is when y =0
to get 6x2+10x+4
This can be used to write the polynomial as (x-1)(6x2 +10x+4)
you then factorize the second bracket, 6x2 +10x+4.
you can take the 2 outside to give you 2(3x2 +5x+2)
you can factorize this to become 2(3x+2)(x+1)
Now you just substitute your factorized second bracket into your unfactorized second bracket to give you 2(3x+2)(x+1)(x-1).
From this you can deduce that k= 1
Using the place value chart we can see that the decimal 0.6 is six tenths, so we can write 0.6 as the fraction 
. Notice however that is not in lowest terms so we need to divide the numerator and the denominator by the greatest common factor of 6 and 10 which is 2.
