Answer:

a) 7/4 b) 15/2

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Scale Factor = Image / Object

Take the side of Triangle ABC that's BC Why? Because it corresponds with the Image Triangle ADE's DE

= 21/12 = 7/4

b) 7/4 = 10+ x / 10

Cross Multiply

= 4 ( 10 + x ) = 70

= 40 + 4x = 70

= 4x = 70-40

= 4x = 30

= 4x/4 = 30/4

x = 15/2

Answer:

x-intercept: (-0.1, 0)
Horizontal Asymptote: y = -3
Exponential <u>growth</u>

(First answer option)

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>General form of an exponential function</u>

$y=ab^x+c$

where:

a is the initial value (y-intercept).
b is the base (growth/decay factor) in decimal form:
If b > 1 then it is an increasing function.
If 0 < b < 1 then it is a decreasing function.
y=c is the horizontal asymptote.
x is the independent variable.
y is the dependent variable.

Given <u>exponential function</u>:

$y=4(10)^x-3$

<h3><u>x-intercept</u></h3>

The x-intercept is the point at which the curve crosses the x-axis, so when y = 0. To find the x-intercept, substitute y = 0 into the given equation and solve for x:

$\begin{aligned}& \textsf{Set the function to zero}:& 4(10)^x-3 &=0\\\\& \textsf{Add 3 to both sides}:& 4(10)^x &=3\\\\& \textsf{Divide both sides by 4}:& 10^x &=\dfrac{3}{4}\\\\& \textsf{Take natural logs of both sides}:& \ln 10^x &=\ln\left(\dfrac{3}{4}\right)\\\\& \textsf{Apply the power log law}:&x \ln 10 &=\ln\left(\dfrac{3}{4}\right)\\\\& \textsf{Divide both sides by }\ln 10:&x&=\dfrac{\ln\left(\dfrac{3}{4}\right)}{\ln 10} \\\\& \textsf{Simplify}:&x&=-0.1\:\:\sf(1\:d.p.)\end{aligned}$
