Add: 5 + 3 = 8
Exponentiation: the result of step No. 1 ^ 2 = 8 ^ 2 = 64
Add: 32 + 2 = 34
Subtract: the result of step No. 2 - the result of step No. 3 = 64 - 34 = 30
Multiple: 5 * the result of step No. 4 = 5 * 30 = 150
Add: 8 + the result of step No. 5 = 8 + 150 = 158
plz mark me as brainliest :)
A dilation can elongate or diminish a figure. It can
create an image the same as the original by using a scale factor. The scale
factor of a dilation is the ratio of corresponding side lengths. To
dilate a polygon, multiply the coordinates of each vertex by the scale
factor k and connect the vertices.
$990
550 x .80 = 440
$550 + $440 = $990
Both problems give you a function in the second column and the x-values. To find out the values of a through f, you need to plug in those x-values into the function and simplify!
You need to know three exponent rules to simplify these expressions:
1)
The
negative exponent rule says that when a
base has a negative exponent, flip the base onto the other side of the
fraction to make it into a positive exponent. For example,

.
2)
Raising a fraction to a power is the same as separately raising the numerator and denominator to that power. For example,

.
3) The
zero exponent rule<span> says that any number
raised to zero is 1. For example,

.
</span>
Back to the Problem:
Problem 1
The x-values are in the left column. The title of the right column tells you that the function is

. The x-values are:
<span>
1) x = 0</span>Plug this into

to find letter a:

<span>
2) x = 2</span>Plug this into

to find letter b:

<span>
3) x = 4</span>Plug this into

to find letter c:

<span>
Problem 2
</span>The x-values are in the left column. The title of the right column tells you that the function is

. The x-values are:
<span>
1) x = 0</span>Plug this into

to find letter d:

<span>
2) x = 2
</span>Plug this into

to find letter e:

<span>
3) x = 4
</span>Plug this into

to find letter f:

<span>
