Answer: Choice A) 1/9
--------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------
Work Shown:
Replace every x with -4 and then simplify the right side
f(x) = 9(3)^x
f(-4) = 9(3)^(-4)
f(-4) = 9*(1/(3^4)) See note below
f(-4) = 9*(1/(3*3*3*3))
f(-4) = 9*(1/81)
f(-4) = 9/81
f(-4) = 9/(9*9)
f(-4) = 1/9
Note: I used the rule x^(-n) = 1/(x^n) which allows us to convert from negative exponents to positive ones.
It is based on powers of 10, making it logical.

Answer:
x = -9
Step-by-step explanation:
Segment NL is twice the length of midsegment WV.
2WV = NL
2(x+15) = x+21
2x +30 = x +21 . . . . simplify
x = -9 . . . . . . . . . . . . add -30-x
_____
<em>Additional comment</em>
This value of x means the other segments are ...
MN = 12
WV = 6
NL = 12
