3 0

Answer:

x = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1:  Subtract 8 from both sides</u>

8 - 3x - 8 = 17 - 8

<em>-3x = 9</em>

<em />

<u>Step 2:  Divide both sides by -3</u>

-3x / -3 = 9 / -3

<em>x = -3</em>

<em />

Answer: x = -3

If AB = 10, AD = 8, and AE = 12, what is the<br> length of EC?
Karolina [17]

Answer:

AB is 16 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

AE = EC

BF = FC

EF = 8 and DF = 10

To Find:

AB = ?

Solution:

Mid Point Theorem:

The Midpoint Theorem states that "the segment joining two sides of a triangle at the midpoints of those sides is parallel to the third side and is half the length of the third side".

AE = EC .....Given

Therefore E is the Mid Point of AC.

BF = FC .....Given

Therefore F is the Mid Point of BC.

Therefore,

EF || AB            ........................Mid Point Theorem.

         ..............Mid Point Theorem.

Substituting the values we get

Therefore AB is 16 units.

Which equations represent exponential growth? Which equations represent exponential decay? Drag the choices into the boxes to co
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

Exponential growth functions are:

A=20000(1.08)^{t}

A=40(3)^{t}

A=1700(1.07)^{t}

Exponential decay functions are:

A=80(\frac{1}{2})^{t}=80(0.5)^{t}

A=1600(0.8)^{t}

A=1700(0.93)^{t}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

An exponential function is of the form y=ab^{x}, where, a\ne 0.

Now, if a > 0 and b > 1, then the exponential function represent exponential growth.

If a > 0 and 0 < b < 1, then the exponential function represent exponential  decay.

Let us check each function now.

Option 1: A=20000(1.08)^{t}

Here, a = 20000, b = 1.08

As 1.08 > 1, the function is exponential growth.

Option 2: A=80(\frac{1}{2})^{t}=80(0.5)^{t}

Here, a = 80, b = 0.50

As 0.5 < 1, the function is exponential decay.

Option 3: A=1600(0.8)^{t}

Here, a = 1600, b = 0.8

As 0.8 < 1, the function is exponential decay.

Option 4: A=40(3)^{t}

Here, a = 40, b = 3

As 3 > 1, the function is exponential growth.

Option 5: A=1700(1.07)^{t}

Here, a = 1700, b = 1.07

As 1.07 > 1, the function is exponential growth.

Option 6: A=1700(0.93)^{t}

Here, a = 1700, b = 0.93

As 0.93 < 1, the function is exponential decay.

How does the graph of g(x) = (x + 4)3 − 6 compare to the parent function f(x) = x3?
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

g(x) is shifted 6 units to the left

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets try to simplify g(x) since has a few extra terms:

g(x)= 3x+12-6=3x+6

Now it is easier to compare the two functions.

We can tell that they both have the same slope, both differs on a extra term

This term tell us that the g(x) is shifted to the left (it is positive 6)

Another approach to the solution is to plot the two functions together by obtaining the crossing points with the 'y' axis and with the 'x' axis

the result is shown in the attached picture
