Answer:
Option A: 12
Step-by-step explanation:
From the image of the triangle given, we can see that:
XM = ZM
We are given that:
XM = 2x + 2 and ZM = 4x - 8
Thus;
2x + 2 = 4x - 8
Rearrange to get;
4x - 2x = 8 + 2
2x = 10
x = 10/2
x = 5
Thus, XM = 2(5) + 2
XM = 12
Answer:
X=4
Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:
Part a) Option d
Part b) Option a
Step-by-step explanation:
Part a
if we look at the options given and the data available
Option a) x^4+9
Putting x= 2 we get (2^4) + 9 =25
Putting x= 3 we get (3^4) + 9 =90 but f(x) =125 so not correct option
Option b) (4^x)+9
Putting x= 2 we get (4^2) + 9 =25
Putting x= 3 we get (4^3) + 9 =73 but f(x) =125 so not correct option
Option c) x^5
Putting x= 2 we get (2^5) =32 but f(x) =25 so not correct option
Option d) 5^x
Putting x= 2 we get (5^2) =25
Putting x= 3 we get (5^3) =125
Putting x= 4 we get (5^4) =625
So Option d is correct.
Part (b)
3(2)^3x
can be solved as:
=3(2^3)^x
=3(8)^x
So, correct option is a
