Answer:
Inequality Form:
b ≥ 1
Interval Notation:
[1,∞)
Step-by-step explanation:
the assumption being that "x" is a plain variable whilst "y" is a function, that matters because the chain rule would be needed for a function, not so for a plain variable.

now, we know that y(5) = -23, which is another way of saying that when x = 5, y = -23, but we already knew that, we can get that by simply plugging it into the equation hmmm y'(5), well

Answer:
17. Scale Factor is 3:1
18. Scale Factor is 1:3
Step-by-step explanation:
Scale Factor: In two similar shapes, the ratio of their corresponding sides is called scale factor.
17. Give the scale factor of Figure A to Figure B
Figure A has sides:
Hypotenuse = 15
Perpendicular = 12
Base = 9
Figure B has sides:
Hypotenuse = 5
Perpendicular = 4
Base = 3
So, if we divide all sides of figure A by 3 we get Figure B
So, Figure A : Figure B
3:1
18. Give the scale factor of Figure B to Figure A
Figure B has sides:
Hypotenuse = 5
Perpendicular = 4
Base = 3
Figure A has sides:
Hypotenuse = 15
Perpendicular = 12
Base = 9
If we multiply 3 with the sides of Figure B we can get the sides of Figure A.
So scale factor is 3.
So, Figure B : Figure A
1:3
