2 Answers:
Choice C) It will use a closed circle
Choice D) The ray will move to the left
=========================================================
Explanation:
The inequality
means that x = -8 or x < -8. Since we're including -8 itself, which is the endpoint, we'll use a closed circle. In contrast, an open circle would be used if the inequality was
to exclude the endpoint -8.
The ray is to the left because we're visually describing all values smaller than -8. Such example values are -10 and -22 as these values are to the left of -8 on the number line.
In short, the graph consists of a closed circle at the endpoint -8 and the arrow is to the left. We can say the shading is to the left.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
The rate of change is measured by the slope of the line in this linear table.
Calculate the slope m using the slope formula
m = 
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 3, 0) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (3, 2) ← 2 ordered pairs from the table
m =
=
=
← rate of change
= 2^-16 * 5^10 * (5^-8 / 2^12) * 2^28
= 2^-28 * 5^2 * 2^28
= 5^2
= 25
hope it helps
3 to the -2 power is basically 3x-3, which is -9, and -5 to the -3 power is (-5)(-5)(-5) which is equal to -125. hope that helped you out, bud!
