I think the answer is the 3rd rectangle but I'm not too sure I'm sorry
If f(z)=m^z - n^z <span>and f(1)=2, f(2)=8
then
m - n = 2 so m = n + 2
m^2 - n^2 = 8
substitute </span>m = n + 2 into m^2 - n^2 = 8
so
m^2 - n^2 = 8
(n + 2)^2 - n^2 = 8
n^2 + 4n + 4 - n^2 = 8
4n = 4
n = 1
m = n + 2 = 1 + 2 = 3
so f(z) = 3^z - 1^z
if z = 1 the f(1) = 3^1 - 1^1 = 2
if z = 2 the f(2) = 3^2 - 1^2 = 9 - 1 = 8
if z = 3 the f(3) = 3^3 - 1^2 = 27 - 1 = 26
answer
f(3) = 26
Answer:
3x +4y = 118
5x+6y =180
y= $25
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = the cost of a flashlight
Let y = the cost of a sleeping bag
3x +4y = 118
5x+6y =180
Multiply the first equation by -5
-5(3x +4y) = -5*118
-15x -20y = -590
Multiply the second equation by 3
3(5x+6y) =3*180
15x + 18y = 540
Add the modified equations together.
We are using elimination to eliminate the variable x
-15x -20y = -590
15x + 18y = 540
----------------------------
-2y = -50
Divide by -2
-2y/-2 = -50/-2
y =25
Each sleeping bag costs $25
You would multiply 2.75 by 50, which is 137.5 miles
