Answer:
A. 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Part 2 of the graph is the only part where the line is decreasing. The rest of the parts are either horizontal or increasing
Answer:
![X = \left[\begin{array}{cccc}12&-24&8&16\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=X%20%3D%20%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcccc%7D12%26-24%268%2616%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
Step-by-step explanation:
A matrix is given by
![A = \left[\begin{array}{cccc}6&-12&4&8\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=A%20%3D%20%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcccc%7D6%26-12%264%268%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
Now, we have to find the matrix X if 
⇒ X = 2A
Now, multiplication of a constant with a matrix means multiplication with that constant with all the terms of the matrix.
So, ![X = \left[\begin{array}{cccc}6 \times 2&-12 \times 2&4 \times 2&8 \times 2\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=X%20%3D%20%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcccc%7D6%20%5Ctimes%202%26-12%20%5Ctimes%202%264%20%5Ctimes%202%268%20%5Ctimes%202%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
⇒ (Answer)
First use distributive property on both sides of the equation.
-9(-16 - f) = 4(1 - 3f)
144 + 9f = 4 - 12f
Then isolate f on one side of the equation:
3f = -140
f = 46.67 --> (which is equal to -140/3)
I'm sorry I couldn't help more. I don't know why it's wrong. Maybe try putting in it decial form instead.
