I am torn between B and D because increased means add, but I am going to go with B 1 - 3n. I choose B because in the D option it decreases not increases.
So the answer is B.) 1 - 3n
Hope this helps! - Alyssa
Answer:
d =7.6
Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:
First piece = 6 inches
Second piece = 12 inches
Third piece = 18 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Length of the first piece = x
Length of the second piece = 2x
Length of the third piece = 3x
Total length is 36 inches:
x + 2x + 3x = 36
6x = 36
x = 6
Therefore, the lengths are:
First piece = 6 inches
Second piece = 12 inches
Third piece = 18 inches

Answer:
a) x = -1, x = 4
b) y = x^2 -3x -4
Step-by-step explanation:
a) We observe the x-intercepts are x = -1 and x = 4. These are the solutions to y = 0, which is usually what we want in cases like this.
The solutions are x=-1 and x=4.
__
b) We know two of the factors are (x +1) and (x -4). There may be an additional constant factor for vertical scaling. One point we can check is the y-intercept.
y = a(x +1)(x -4)
For x=0, this is ...
y = a(1)(-4) = -4a
The y-intercept is y = -4, so we have a=1.
The factored equation is ...
y = (x +1)(x -4)
Multiplying this out gives the equation in standard form:
y = x^2 -3x -4
__
<em>Additional comment</em>
Your teacher may want the standard form equation to be ...
x^2 -3x -4 = 0
This is the equation of two specific points: x=-1 and x=4. It is not the equation of the graph.
