Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Start with why C isn't the answer.
y = 1.8^0 . The power is zero. Anything to the zero power (anything except 0 to the 0 power) is 1. So 1.8^0 is 1 not something else. C assumes that somehow 0,1.8 turns into 1.8. It does not. The second part is also wrong but you don't need it. However here it is.
x = 0 y = 3
x = 1 y = 3 * 1.8 = 5.4
x = 2 y = 3 * 1.8^2 = 3*3.24 = 9.72
You should be able to see that if you multiply 5.4 by 3, you don't get 9.72
C just does not work.
=======
The actual answer is A. That's exactly what the graph does. If you multiply 5.4 * 1.8 you should get 9.72. Just for completeness, I've included the graph.
Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the width is of the length, then
y - 4 = (2y + 6)
Multiply through by 3 to clear the fraction
3y - 12 = 2y + 6 ( subtract 2y from both sides )
y - 12 = 6 ( add 12 to both sides )
y = 18
Thus
length = 2y + 6 = 2(18) + 6 = 36 + 6 = 42 in
width = y - 4 = 18 - 4 = 14 in
