Answer:

<em>The input when the output is 17 is x=6.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Functions</u>

Assume the input is called x and the output is the function f(x). Two times the input is 2x. 5 more than that is 2x+5.

Knowing the output of the function is 5 more than 2 times the input, we can write the function as:

f(x)=2x+5

Now find the input x when the output is 17:

17=2x+5

Swap sides of the equation:

2x+5=17

Subtract 5:

2x=17-5=12

Divide by 2:

x=12/6=6

The input when the output is 17 is x=6.

Two vertices of a polygon are ( 7, -18) and (7, 18). What is the length of this side of the polygon?

Scilla [17]

Because the two vertices have the same x-coordinate, the side is a vertical line. It starts vertically from -18 to 18

the length = 18 - (-18)
the length = 18 + 18
the length = 36

The length of the side is 36 unit

From the shape, you can immediately tell it’s one of the x^3 functions. Then I just put both in my calculator and looked for which one matched
