3(3b+2)=-30 perform indicated multiplication on left side...
9b+6=-30 subtract 6 from both sides
9b=-36 divide both sides by 9
b=-4
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Given function is:</u>

Put x = 4
So,
![f(4) = 4^4\\\\f(4) = 256\\\\\rule[225]{225}{2}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=f%284%29%20%3D%204%5E4%5C%5C%5C%5Cf%284%29%20%3D%20256%5C%5C%5C%5C%5Crule%5B225%5D%7B225%7D%7B2%7D)

One way to approach this problem is to go ahead and find the actual equation in slope-intercept form.
The slope of the line thru (3,6) and (5,4) is m = (6-4) / (3-5), or -2/2, or -1.
Subbing the known values of m, x and y, we get:
4 = -(5) + b. Then b = 9.
The correct equation (representing the data values in the table) is y = -x + 9.
We are given that the insect can lift 1.182 x 10^3 times
it's own weight. Say that w is weight, so the lift is:
lift = 1.182 x 10^3 * w
Assuming that your body weight is 60 kg, therefore you
can lift:
lift = 1.182 x 10^3 * 60 kg = 70,920 kg
