1 answer:

8 0

Let's see if this is better
1: Substitute 0 for x in the equation → y = f(0) = a^0 = 1
Therefore (0, 1) is a point on the graph

2: Substitute 1 for x in the equation → y = f(1) = a^1 = a
Therefore (1, a) is a point on the graph

3: y = f(x) = a^x is an exponential function which has a horizontal asymptote of y = 0 (equation for the x - axis) ... The reason it is above the x-axis is because there is no negative coefficient on "a" to reflect it below the x-axis

List the sides of triangle ΔMNP in ascending order (shortest to longest) if: Chapter Reference a m∠M = 64°, m∠N = 48°

scoray [572]

The given angles are
M = 64
N = 48
where P is unknown. While we don't know P at first, we can solve for it. Recall that for any triangle, the three angles always add to 180 degrees

M+N+P = 180
64+48+P = 180
112+P = 180
112+P-112 = 180-112
P = 68

-------------------------------------------

So in summary so far
M = 64
N = 48
P = 68

The shortest side is opposite the smallest angle. The side MP is opposite the smallest angle N = 48

The longest side is going to be opposite the largest angle. In this case, side MN is opposite the largest angle P = 68

The medium side is opposite the medium angle. So NP is the medium side length

-------------------------------------------------------

Final Answers:
Shortest Side = MP
Medium Side = NP
Longest Side = MN
See the attached image for a visual summary

The ascending order would be: MP, NP, MN

Note: Something like MP is the same as PM. The order of endpoints for any given individual segment doesn't matter
