Answer: The required list of input values is 3, 5 and 7 for the output values 8, 12 and 16 respectively.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to list the input values (x) that will produce the output values 8, 12 and 16 in the following function :

$f(x)=2x+2.$

To find the input values, we need to substitute the given output values for f(x) and then find the corresponding value of x.

For output value 8 :

We have

$f(x)=8\\\\\Rightarrow 2x+2=8\\\\\Rightarrow 2x=6\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{6}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow x=3.$

For output value 12 :

We have

$f(x)=12\\\\\Rightarrow 2x+2=12\\\\\Rightarrow 2x=10\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{10}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow x=5.$

For output value 16 :

We have

$f(x)=16\\\\\Rightarrow 2x+2=16\\\\\Rightarrow 2x=14\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{14}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow x=7.$

Thus, the required list of input values is 3, 5 and 7 for the output values 8, 12 and 16 respectively.

Leah claims that these figures are not similar. When she compared the heights, she wrote 27. Then she compared the bases and got

Flauer [41]

Answer:

<h2>Leah is actually wrong, because those rectangles are similar.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that similarity is about having proportional sides and congruent angles. When we have congruent sides, then those rectangles are congruent not similar.

In this case, to find the similarity, Leah should compare bases and heights thorugh division, because the ratio between heights and the ratio between bases must be equal. So, let's divide.

$\frac{21}{6}=3.5$
