Answer:9 square units
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: See the attached image
You have the correct idea for the boxes you've filled out. For the first three boxes in column 1, I would be specific which segments you are dividing. So for instance, in the first box, it would be EG/EB = 55/11 = 5. Then the second box would be EF/EC = 35/7 = 5, and so on. The order of the boxes doesn't matter. The three boxes then combine together to help show that the triangles are similar. Specifically 
. The order of the letters is important to help show how the angles pair up and how the sides pair up. We use the SSS similarity theorem here.
The second problem is the same idea, but we use one pair of congruent angles. So we'll use the SAS similarity theorem this time.
<span>In addition to linear, quadratic, rational, and radical functions, there are exponential functions. Exponential functions have the form f(x) = <span>bx</span>, where b > 0 and b ≠ 1. Just as in any exponential expression, b is called the base and x is called the exponent.</span>
<span>An example of an exponential function is the growth of bacteria. Some bacteria double every hour. If you start with 1 bacterium and it doubles every hour, you will have 2x bacteria after x hours. This can be written as f(x) = 2x.</span>
<span>Before you start, f(0) = 2<span>0 </span>= 1</span>
<span>After 1 hour f(1) = 21 = 2</span>
<span>In 2 hours f(2) = 22 = 4</span>
<span>In 3 hours f(3) = 23 = 8</span>
and so on.
<span>With the definition f(x) = <span>bx</span> and the restrictions that b > 0 and that b ≠ 1, the domain of an exponential function is the set of all real numbers. The range is the set of all positive real numbers. The following graph shows f(x) = 2x.</span>
