Answer:

Option D does not have an x-intercept. Please se attached graph

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this equation easily, we graph each equation in a graphing calculator and see which of them doesn't intercept the x-axis.

The correct answer is option

D

Answer:

The correct option is (D) f(x)=-5^{x-5}-1.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the option A. f(x)=5^{x-5}-1

To find whether the exponential function has <em>x</em> intercepts, substitute f(x) = 0 \, \text {in} f(x)=5^{x-5}-1.

0=5^{x-5}-1

1=5^{x-5}

The above equality holds only for <em>x</em> = 5.

Now, consider the option B. f(x)=5^{x-5}-5

Similarly, substitute f(x) = 0 \, \text{in} f(x)=5^{x-5}-5

0=5^{x-5}-5

5=5^{x-5}

The above equality holds only for <em>x</em> = 6.

Consider the option C. f(x)=-5^{x-5}+5

Substitute f(x) = 0 \, \text{in} f(x)=-5^{x-5}+5

0=-5^{x-5}+5

-5=-5^{x-5}

5=5^{x-5}

The above equality holds only for <em>x</em> = 6.

Now, consider the option D. f(x)=-5^{x-5}-1

Substitute f(x) = 0 \, \text{in} f(x)=-5^{x-5}-1

0=-5^{x-5}-1

1=-5^{x-5}

This equality never holds for any real number.

We can draw the graph for the provided options with the help of graphing utility.

We can verify our result with the help of figure 1.

From the figure 1, it is clear that the graph of f(x)=-5^{x-5}-1 does not have an <em>x</em> intercept.

Hence, the correct option is (D) f(x)=-5^{x-5}-1.

Answer

The monkey will be able to cover an area of 22.86 meters which is equivalent to two sides and half of the building.

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of the monkeys rope = 75 feet long

Each side of the hexagon shaped facility = 30 feet

Note that, 1 feet = 0.3048 m

if we convert 30 feet to Meter, we have,

30 × 0.3048 = 9.144

Therefore, 30 + 30 +15 = 75 which is equivalent to the two side and half side of the hexagon shaped building

75 feet × 0.304 meter = 22.86 meters.

So the total area the monkey will be able to cover will be

= 22.86 Meters which is equivalent to two sides and half of the hexagon shape building.

Leah's age is twice her cow old are Leah and her cousin?usin's age. If they add their ages together they get 36. How old are Lea
nignag [31]
Okay so lets call Leah "L" and her cousin "C". We know that L+C=36 ... we also know that Leah is twice her cousins age. Therefore, L=2 times C, or L=2C. This is because Leah's age is equivalent to twice as much as her cousin's. 
Now that you know that L=2C, you can plug this back into the equation. This should make it so that's there's only one variable now! 
L+C=36
(2C)+C=36   ... here we subbed in L=2C
3C=36     ... we add up the C's
C=12   ... we isolate for C by dividing both sides by 3

So her cousin's age is 12 years old. Leah's age is twice that. Thus, she's 24. If you add the two up: 12+24, you indeed get 36. Hope that helps :))
