Well there is many ways you can write 8 as fraction. Most common is 8/1 because 1/1 is 1 8/1 is 8. Some people can write 8 as fraction like 72/9 or 24/3.
I hope this helped!!!:)
15-7 is 8! so 8 is the length of the side with the ?
Answer:
A linear function is written as:
y = a*x + b
Where a is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
An exponential equation is written as:
y = A*(r)^x
Where A is the initial quantity and r is the rate of growth.
If a and A are both positives, the similar characteristic of both types of functions is that as x increases, then the value of y will also increase. Then both functions are increasing functions.
They are different in how they increase, while a linear function increases at a constant rate, an exponential function increases slow at the beginning and really fast as x increases, as you can see in the image below where we compare the two types of functions, the green one is the linear function, and the blue one is the exponential function.
In order to solve this, we need to select the function that meets our constraints. Since x^2 - 5 occurs when x is less than 3, and the x-value we are given is -4, we use the first function.
f(-4) = (-4)^2 - 5
f(-4) = 16 - 5
f(-4) = 11
