Answer:
The correct answer is

Step-by-step explanation:
Method 1
We want to simplify,

The double negatives becomes positive,

We now add the whole number parts and the fractions separately

This will give us,

The least common denominator for the fractional parts is 9.




Method 2
We want to simplify,

The double negatives becomes positive,

We first convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions to obtain,

We carry out the multiplication in the numerator to get,

We add in the numerator to get,

The least common denominator is
.



We convert back to mixed numbers to get,

I believe it is growth, decay would be the other way around.
Answer:
-2
Step-by-step explanation:
-4x^3 = 32
x^3 = -8
take the cube root of both sides.
x = -2
Answer:
(x, y) → (1.5x, 1.5y)
Step-by-step explanation:
Each of the image coordinates is 1.5 times the corresponding pre-image coordinate. The transformation is a dilation by a factor of 1.5 about the origin.
Some authors use a notation like D(1.5,O) to indicate the transformation. I like the one shown above, or ...
(x, y) → 1.5(x, y)
Answer:
As the input increases, the output decreases for all values of x.
Step-by-step explanation:
The function is linear (a straight line) which heads down and to the right. There is no asymptote stopping the function from decreasing.
Formally, the behavior is described like so: as x approaches infinity, f(x) decreases
