Bethany says that 3x+6+x and 3(x+2) and equivalent expressions. She used substitution to support her answer. Explain what Bethan

y did wrong

She forgot about the final x at the end, because the first expression is 3x+6+x, and the second one is 3(x+2). The second one expands to 3x+6, but it doesn't have the final term at the end.

Also, 3 is not really a factor of x (technically it could be because x in unknown, but in terms of like terms and stuff it isn't) so you can't take a 3 out of x (unless you leave it as 1/3x I guess).

Anyway, yeah she forgot about the final x and therefore the factor she took out is incorrect anyway. She also could've simplified the first expression so that it became 4x + 6

Answer:

-1

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope given two points use the formula

m = ( y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

   = ( 8-2)/(4-10)

    = 6/-6

   = -1

2 minutes left, quick question:
rodikova [14]

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation

Drawing quadrilateral ABCD (in picture), I tried to prove that the triangles ABD CDB were congruent, proving that the quadrilateral was a parallelogram, however, with the terms you just described, it is impossible prove that the triangles were congruent as SSA is not a valid congruence postulate. Therefore, ABCD does not have to be a parallelogram.

Write an exponential function in the form y=ab^x that goes through the point (0,17) and (6,1088)
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

y = 17(2)^x

Step-by-step explanation:

If the graph of y = ab^x goes through (0, 17), then

                        17 = ab*0, or a = 17

Then the function is y = ab^x with a = 17, or

                                  y = 17*b^x and we must find b.

If the graph of y = 17*b^x also goes through (6, 1088), then the following must be true:   1088 = 17*b^6

which reduces to 64 = b^6

Taking the sixth root of both sides, we get 64^(1/6) = b, and so b = 2

Then the desired exponential function is

y = 17(2)^x
