Answer:

Square root property

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is :

$x^2+6=31$

We need to write the most appropriated technique to solve the above equation.

Subtracting both sides of the above equation by 6 such that,

$x^2+6-6=31-6\\\\x^2=25$

Now taking square root on both sides we get :

$x=\sqrt{25}$

The square root property is used here, such that the value of x is :

$x=\pm 5$

10.) Fishermen have been studying how the number of dead sea turtles in the local bay is related to the pollution index of the b

alexdok [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A linear function is a polynomial function of the first degree that has the form:

f (x) = m*x + b or y=m*x + b

where y is the dependent variable, x is the independent variable, m is the slope of the line and b is the intercept with the Y axis.

The slope m measures the inclination of the line with respect to the abscissa axis, that is, the x axis. According to the value of the slope m, the linear function can be increasing if m> 0, decreasing if m <0 or constant if m = 0.

You know that the number of sea turtle deaths per year is modeled by f(x) = 13.42x + 109.118. Then the value of the slope is 13.42. In this scenario, the slope indicates that the number of deaths of sea turtles grows in a proportion of 13.42 with respect to the pollution index of the bay.

Find f(-2) for f(x)=2(4)^x

lesya692 [45]

For this case we have the following exponential function:
$f (x) = 2 (4) ^ x
$
To find the value of f (-2) what we must do is substitute the value of x = -2 in the given function.
We have then:
$f (x) = 2 (4) ^{-2}$
Then, rewriting the function we have:
$f (x) = \frac{2}{4^2}$
$f (x) = \frac{2}{16}$
Finally, simplifying we have:
$f (x) = \frac{1}{8}$
Answer:
The value of f (-2) is:
$f (x) = \frac{1}{8}$
option B
