Hello!
The graph, (2/5)^x is an exponential function.
Since there is not a negative symbol in the front of the function, options A and B are incorrect.
For option 3 to be correct, there would need to be a negative symbol in front of the exponent, x.
So therefore, the answer option 4. (Also, I'll post a graph. :))
For this case, the first thing we must do is define variables.
We have then:
x: Maggie's age
y: Age of Maggie's brother
We write the system of equations that models the problem.
We have then:
We solve the system of equations.
For this, we use substitution:
From here, we clear the value of x:
Answer:
Maggie is 9 years old
Answer:
0.22222222222
Step-by-step explanation:
To divide two by nine, you need to use your long division skills. Unfortunately, this interface doesn't lend itself well to showing you the actual long division problem, so try to follow the steps with me.
draw a division symbol (should look like half a rectangle). Put the 9 in front of the rectangle and a 2 inside it. Make the top of the rectangle long.
Note that the result of the division 2÷9 is not an exact value and is equivalent to recurring decimal 0.22... (which has 2 as the period).
Answer:
(x−3)(x−5)
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's factor x2−8x+15
x2−8x+15
The middle number is -8 and the last number is 15.
Factoring means we want something like
(x+_)(x+_)
Which numbers go in the blanks?
We need two numbers that...
Add together to get -8
Multiply together to get 15
Can you think of the two numbers?
Try -3 and -5:
-3+-5 = -8
-3*-5 = 15
Fill in the blanks in
(x+_)(x+_)
with -3 and -5 to get...
(x-3)(x-5)
