Answer:

28 units

Step-by-step explanation:

ABCD is a rectangle. AC and BD are diagonals intersecting at point E.

Diagonals of a rectangle bisect each other.

$\therefore BE = ED$

$\therefore 6x + 2 = 4x + 6$

$\therefore 6x - 4x= 6-2$

$\therefore 2x= 4$

$\therefore x= \frac{4}{2}$

$\therefore x= 2$

$\therefore 6x + 2= 6*2+2= 12+2= 14$

$\therefore BE= 14\: units$

$\because BD = 2BE$

$\therefore BD = 2(14)= 28\: units$

$\because AC = BD$ (diagonals of a are equal in measure)

$\therefore AC = 28\: units$

WILL PICK BRAINLIEST!!!

andreyandreev [35.5K]

we are given

$f(x)=10(2)^x$

now, we can compare it with

$f(x)=a(b)^x$

we can find b

we get

$b=2$

now, we are given

How would the graph change if the b value in the equation is decreased but remains greater than 1

Let's take

b=1.8

$f(x)=10(1.8)^x$

b=1.6

$f(x)=10(1.6)^x$

b=1.4

$f(x)=10(1.4)^x$

b=1.2

$f(x)=10(1.2)^x$

now, we can draw graph

now, we will verify each options

option-A:

we know that all y-value will begin at y=0

because horizontal asymptote is y=0

so, this is FALSE

option-B:

we can see that

curve is moving upward when b decreases for negative value of x

but it is increasing slowly for negative values of x

so, this is FALSE

option-C:

we can see that

curve is moving upward when b decreases for negative value of x

but it is increasing slowly for negative values of x

so, this is TRUE

option-D:

we know that curves are increasing

so, the value of y will keep increasing as x increases

so, this is TRUE

option-E:

we can see that

curve is moving upward when b decreases for negative value of x

but it is increasing slowly for negative values of x

so, this is FALSE

Answer:

64m^3

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cube formula is side^3.

Using that formula, we get 64 meters cubed as the answer.

The formula for the volume of cylinder is pi*r^2*h.

WILL MARK BRAINLIEST Olivier has $48.25 to spend on painting classes. Each class costs $6 plus a one-time registration fee of $6

Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

A. 6n+6.25 = 48.25

Step-by-step explanation:

$48.25 Money to spend

Each class costs $6 plus

one time $6.25

N= # of classes

6= slope rise over run

48.25 is total

6.25 is the y-intercept First time payment

u only pay once

48.25=6n+6.25
