The given functions are

Evaluate the functions.
1. Because 7/4 > 1 and the exponent is positive,
the function does not decay.
2.Because 4/5 < 1 and the exponent is negative,
the function does not decay.
3. Because 8/7 > 1 and the exponent is negative,
the function decays.
4. Because 9/2 > 1 and the exponent is positive,
the function does not decay.
A composite plot the functions verifies the answer.
Answer:
Call b the amount of babysitting hours and 5 the amount of gardening hours.
10b+5g=80
b+g=12
Subtract 5 times the second equation from the first to get:
5b=20
Thus, b=4. g=12-4, or 8. Therefore, Sarah spends 4 hours babysitting and the rest gardening.
Answer: Y= 2/3x + 9
Explanation: The equation is in slope-intercept form, y=mx+b. Since it is parallel to the equation, it has the same slope (2/3x) and since b is the x intercept, b is 9.
The answer is the first choice!!
