<h3>Answer:</h3>

x=2

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

Using similarity and enlargement;

  • ΔABE is similar to ΔACD
  • Therefore, the ratios of corresponding sides will be equal.
  • That is; AC/AB = AD/AE = CD/BE

In this case;

AC = 48

AB = 36

AE = 24

AD = 24 + 6x - 4

     = 20 + 6x

Therefore;

\frac{48}{36}=\frac{20+6x}{24}

Thus;

(48 × 24) = 36(20 + 6x)

1152 = 720 + 216x

216x = 1152 - 720

216x = 432

     x = 432 ÷ 216

       = 2

Therefore, the value of x is 2

A boat's value over time is given as the function f(x) and graphed below. Use A(x) = 400(b)x + 0 as the parent function. Which g
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

Please see attached graph

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the equation tht represents the boats avlue is given by

A(x) = 400(b)^x + 0 = 400(b)^x

A(x) = 400(b)^x

An increment in the rate of 25% a yeard is given by

b = 1.25

A(x) = 400(1.25)^x

Which graph can be seen below

F (x) =2x -4; find f (-4)
NemiM [27]

Answer:

f(-4) = -12

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=2x-4

To calculate f(-4), we need to substitute x in our equation above with -4:

f(x)=2x-4\\f(-4) = 2*(-4) - 4\\f(-4) = -8-4 = -12

Note that 2*(-4) = -8

Answer: f(-4) = -12
