Rectangle 1: side lengths 4 and (x+1)
y=4(x+1)= 4x+4
Rectangle 2: side lengths 3 and (2x-2)
y=3(2x-2)= 6x-6
4x+4=6x-6
-2x=-10, x=5
Option 1 with rectangle 1: y=4(5)+4, y=24
Option 2 with rectangle 2: y=6(5)-5, y=24
I graphed the linear equation on desmos.
Solution:
we are given that
The magnitudes of the moon and Sirius are -12.5 and -1.44 respectively.
we have been asked to find approximately how many times is the moon brighter than Sirius?
The word magnitude is used by the scientist to describe the brightness of moon/star/object etc.
So we can find the brightness by dividing the given values. so we get
Hence we can say
The moon is 8.68 times brighter than Sirius.
ANSWER
D.
EXPLANATION
The given graph rises on the left and falls on the right.
This implies that the degree of the function is even.
Since the graph opens downward, the coefficient of the leading term must be negative.
The graph graph of the function also has 3 intercepts with one of them having an even multiplicity.
This means that the degree must be 4.
Therefore the last choice is correct.
