Remark.The easiest way to do this question is to graph it. Start with that.
The red line is y = (1/3)^x
The blue line is y = 5*(1/3)^x
CommentThe red line's y intercept is (0,1)
The blue line's y intercept is (0,5)
WhyIf the x value is 0 then (1/3)^0 = 1
y = (1/3)^0 = 1 * 1 = 1 and for the blue graph
y = 5*(1/3)^0 = 5*1 = 5
In other words, in this set of equations, the 5 makes the y intercept 5 times larger than the 1 in front of y = (1/3)^x
If you have choices, could you please list them? I may be giving you the right answer but not in the form required.
Answer:
11/6 or decimal 1.8333... + 4.9 = 6.733333....
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplify the following:
(3 + 2/3)/2
Express 4/6 in its lowest form by cancelling out gcd(4, 6) = 2 from the numerator and denominator. 4/6 = (2×2)/(2×3) = 2/3:
(2/3 + 3)/2
Put 3 + 2/3 over the common denominator 3. 3 + 2/3 = (3×3)/3 + 2/3:
((3×3)/3 + 2/3)/2
3×3 = 9:
(9/3 + 2/3)/2
9/3 + 2/3 = (9 + 2)/3:
((9 + 2)/3)/2
9 + 2 = 11:
(11/3)/2
11/3×1/2 = 11/(3×2):
11/(3×2)
3×2 = 6:
Answer: 11/6 or decimal 1.8333... + 4.9 = 6.733333....
Something that could be done is to tie a rope long enough to cross the river and send the two younger brothers across first, then have Mike pull the boat back across the river with the rope and him get in the boat and row it across the river with just himself and the gear.
Another option is you can unload some gear, put the boys in the boat, row them across the river, unload the two younger boys, go back for the rest of gear and load it into the boat then come back.
Hope this helps!
The question asks for the length of CD and HJ. To find those, we need to find a connection between them.
In the given statement, it says ABCD ≅ FGHJ. When we look at the equation, the corresponding letters are equal. For example, angle A is congruent to Angle F. Or BC ≅ GH.
So we know that CD and HJ are congruent.
Set them equal:

Subtract 2x from both sides:

Subtract 2 from both sides:

If x is 3, plug it in:

Simplify:

So, HJ is 11. And because HJ ≅ CD, CD is 11 too.
