Remark
That was well worth doing. Desmos gave you the answer to the graph. Unfortunately I can only give you the correct graph. You will have to figure out from the choices which one is the correct answer -- or edit it so I can see what the rest of the question is.
Graph
The red one is f(x) is x + 3 {x <= -2}
The blue one is f(x) is x^2 - 1 {-2 <x <1} Notice the gap at 2. It is not continuous
The green one is f(x) is log_2(-x + 3) {1 <=x < 3} and there is a gap between the blue and green one.
16 ft
Explanation
Step 1
because the ligth comes in the same angle, we have 2 similar triangles .
so,as the triangles are similar,the ratio of the shorter leg to the bigger leg must be equal.

Step 2
solve for h

therefore, the heigth of the tree is 16 ft
I think this is how you do it
Lm would be 78 because it is halfway between ab and dc and 98-58=40 and half of 40=20, so 58+20=78 or 98-20=78.
Answer:
2nd option
Step-by-step explanation:
given an exponential function in the form y = a
to find a and b use the coordinate points it passes through
using (0, 4 ) , then
4 = a
[
= 1 ] , that is
a = 4 , so
y = 4
using (2, 100 )
100 = 4b² ( divide both sides by 4 )
25 = b² ( take the square root of both sides )
= b , that is
b = 5
then exponential function is
y = 4 .
