Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
Functions meet the vertical line test:
a vertical line will intersect the graph at most at one point
C doesn't pass the vertical line test and is therefor not a function
The answer is = because all of the other dimensions to the triangles are equal.
Let's start from what we know.

Note that:

(sign of last term will be + when n is even and - when n is odd).
Sum is finite so we can split it into two sums, first

with only positive trems (squares of even numbers) and second

with negative (squares of odd numbers). So:

And now the proof.
1) n is even.
In this case, both

and

have

terms. For example if n=8 then:

Generally, there will be:

Now, calculate our sum:



So in this case we prove, that:

2) n is odd.
Here,

has more terms than

. For example if n=7 then:

So there is

terms in

,

terms in

and:

Now, we can calculate our sum:




We consider all possible n so we prove that:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
3(x + 4) - 5 = 2x + 4
solve for x
x = -3

Using the formula for turning exponents into radicals
![(b) {}^{ \frac{x}{y} } = \sqrt[y]{b} {}^{x}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%28b%29%20%7B%7D%5E%7B%20%5Cfrac%7Bx%7D%7By%7D%20%7D%20%20%3D%20%20%20%20%5Csqrt%5By%5D%7Bb%7D%20%7B%7D%5E%7Bx%7D%20%20)
where b is the base
This means that the numerator in the exponet form becomes the power under the radical in radical form and
the denominator in exponet form becomes the nth root in radical form.
For example 5,

That becomes in radical form
![\sqrt[5]{5 {}^{ - 3} }](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Csqrt%5B5%5D%7B5%20%7B%7D%5E%7B%20-%203%7D%20%7D%20)
or if you want to write it using positive exponents
![\frac{1}{ \sqrt[5]{5 {}^{3} } }](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B%20%5Csqrt%5B5%5D%7B5%20%7B%7D%5E%7B3%7D%20%7D%20%7D%20)
I'll do one more for you
For example 6,

That becomes in radical form
![\sqrt[3]{11 {}^{4} }](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B11%20%7B%7D%5E%7B4%7D%20%7D%20)
