I believe its d because you subtract (-3 -7 1 9) from both sides
F(x) = x² - 8x + 5
f(-1) = (-1)² - 8*(-1) + 5
= 1 + 8 + 5 = 14
f(-1) = 14.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
step 1
Find the scale factor
we know that
If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is equal to the scale factor
Let
z----> the scale factor
x----> corresponding side of the larger trapezoid
y----> corresponding side of the smaller trapezoid

we have


substitute

step 2
Find the area of the larger trapezoid
we know that
If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its areas is equal to the scale factor squared
Let
z----> the scale factor
x----> area of the larger trapezoid
y----> area of the smaller trapezoid

we have


substitute



Answer:
X > -1
Step-by-step explanation:
Isolate the variable by dividing each side by factors that don't contain the variable.
