Answer:

solve for x

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

x2-20x-17=-53

reorder like terms x2= 2x 2x=20x-17=-53

collect like terms 2x-20x=-18x -18x-17=-53

move constant to the right hand side and change its sign -18x=-53+17

calculate the sum -53+17= -36 -18x=-36

divide both sides by -18 -18x÷-18= x -36÷-18=2

x=2

Answer:

AC = 16 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

AD = CD = 10 in.

BD = 6 in.

AC = 2(AB) = ?

Apply pythagorean theorem to find AB

AB² = AD² - BD²

Substitute

AB² = 10² - 6²

AB² = 64

AB = √64

AB = 8

Therefore:

AC = 2(AB) = 2(8)

AC = 16 in.

Find f(-4) for f(x)=9(3)^x

jeka94

Answer:

$f(-4) = \dfrac{1}{9}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$f(x) = 9(3)^x$

$f(-4) = 9(3)^{-4}$

$f(-4) = 3^2 \cdot 3^{-4}$

$f(-4) = 3^{-2}$

$f(-4) = \dfrac{1}{9}$
