Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

An eccentric philanthropist undertakes to give away $100,000. He is eccentric because he insists that each of his gifts be a number of dollars that is a power of two, and he will give no more than one gift of any amount. How does he distribute the money?

To solve this problem, we will simply write 1,00,000 in base 2.

2^17 gives 131072, 2^16 gives 65536.

So, the first gift is 65536, we then need to repeat this process for  34,464 ((100,000-65536 = 34,464), to get all gifts in succession.

6 gifts in all: one each of $32, $128, $512, $1024, $32768, and $65536.

Let g(x) be the reflection of f(x) in the x-axis. What is the function rule for g(x)? Let g(x) be the reflection of f(x) = 3x +
goblinko [34]
Reflection rule in the x-axis:
g(x) = - f(x)

f(x) = 3x+12
g(x) = - f(x) = -3x-12

What equation is represented by the equation on the graph ?
solmaris [256]

Answer: The correct option is D.

Explanation:

From the graph we noticed that the x intercept of the line is (2,0) and the y-intercept is (0,2).

If the line passing through two points then the equation of line is,

y-y_1=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}(x-x_1)

Since the ien passing through (2,0) and (0,2).

y-0=\frac{2-0}{0-2}(x-2)

y=-1(x-2)

y=-x+2

This equation is represented by option D, therefore the option D is correct.
