Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Evaluate g(- 4) and f(- 4) by substituting x = - 4 into g(x) and f(x), that is
f(- 4) = - 10(- 4) + 9 = 40 + 9 = 49
g(- 4) = (- 4)² + 12 = 16 + 12 = 28
Then
=
= 
Reflection rule in the x-axis:
g(x) = - f(x)
f(x) = 3x+12
g(x) = - f(x) = -3x-12
The correct choice is option (C)
Remark
Make up a proportion that relates the tree and its properties to the stick and its properties.
Givens
Stick height (s_h) = 4
Stick shadow(s_s) = 2
Tree shadow = t_s = 18
Tree height = x
Formula
s_h / s_s = x / t_s
Substitute and solve.
4/2 = x / 18 Cross multiply
4*18 = 2 * x
72 = 2x Divide by 2
72/2 = x
x = 36
The height of the tree is 36 feet.
Answer: 1. the negative of the conclusion is true
5/12 is the simplest form that it can be simplified to.
