X= -4
Work: 1^x/4^x=256
1^x= 256 * 4^x
In 1^x = In 256 * 4^x
xIn1 = In 256+ In4^x
x*0= xIn 4 + In 2^8
0= xIn 2^2 + 8In 2
x In 2^2 + 8In 2 =0
x* 2In 2 + 8In 2=0
2In 2x + 8In 2=0
2In 2x = -8In 2
x= -8/2
x=-4

Answer:
13.3 m
Step-by-step explanation:
Let d represent the length of the diagonal. Then the length of the rectangle is (d-2) and the width is (d-6). The area is the product of length and width, so is ...
A = LW
83 = (d -2)(d -6) = d² -8d +12
71 = d² -8d . . . . . . . . subtract 12 to get the constant out of the way
d² -8d +16 = 87 . . . . add (-8/2)² = 16 to both sides to complete the square
(d -4)² = 87 . . . . . . . write as a square
d -4 = √87 . . . . . . . positive square root
d = 4 +√87 ≈ 13.3 . . . . add 4
The diagonal is about 13.3 meters long.

<em>Additional comment</em>
If you check to see if the side lengths actually correspond to those of a rectangle, you find that they do not. <em>The geometry described here is impossible</em>. The rectangle with the proposed relations between sides and diagonal would have a diagonal of about 12.899 m and an area of about 75.19 m².
Answer: see image
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Draw the line y = 1. Count how many units away the point is from that line. Move that point the same number of units in the opposite direction to create the reflection.
J is 2 units above y = 1. The new point is 2 units below y = 1. → (3, -1)
K is 3 units above y = 1. The new point is 3 units below y = 1. → (6, -2)
L is 5 units above y = 1. The new point is 5 units below y = 1. → (3, -4)
M is 3 units above y = 1. The new point is 3 units below y = 1. → (0, -2)
