Hey there !

Let us take the length of the shorter piece as ' x '

Then, the longer piece would be ' 3 + 5x '

Total = 45

x +  5x + 3 = 45

6x + 3 = 45

Subtracting 3 on both sides

6x = 42

dividing by 6 on both sides

x = 7

shorter wire = 7 ft

longer = 45 - 7

=  38 ft

Hope my answer helps!

Long piece:  5x + 3

Short piece: x

Long   + Short = Total

5x + 3 +    x     = 45

6x + 3 = 45

6x = 42

x = 7

Long piece:  5x + 3   = 5(7) + 3   = 35 + 3   = 38

Answer: short = 7 ft, long = 38 ft

Need help with this question

All you have to do is plug in the given x values. your first equations would read:

f(-3) = 2^(-3)
f(-2) = 2^(-2)
f(-1) = 2^(-1)

these can be solved by moving decimal points or entering them into a calculator. regardless of the method, your answers are:

f(-3) = 0.002
f(-2) = 0.02
f(-1) = 0.2

so just repeat that process to fill in the rest of your table. to graph it, you'll use them as normal (x, y) points:

(-3, 0.002)
(-2, 0.02)
(-1, 0.2)

the graph might be a little difficult, working with such small values, but precision isn't totally important--0.002 will be super close to 0, 0.02 will be slightly further, 0.2 will be slightly further. the smaller values don't matter as much graphically and you'll recognize the graph of a growing exponential as you graph more of the table.

Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

6p + 8b

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that p would be the number of cups in each pack

And b would be the number of cups in boxes

Given that

There are 6 cups in each pack

And, 8 cups in each box

So the totla number of cups in each pack be 6p

And, the total number of cups in each box is 8b

Now the total number of cups did Alision buys is 6p + 8b
