The slope is:(9-3)/(1-(-2))=6/3=2
<span> A. x²+2 - a polynomial
B.(x⁸-2)/(x⁻²+3) rational function
C. 7x⁷-2x⁻⁴+3 (It has negative value of exponent, so it cannot be a polynomial.)
D.x^x-1 (x is an exponent it cannot be a polynomial)</span>
Using translation concepts, the equation of F(x) is:
A. 
<h3>What is a translation?</h3>
A translation is represented by a change in the function graph, according to operations such as multiplication or sum/subtraction in it's definition.
The parent function is:

For function F(x), we have that:
- It was shifted down 2 units, hence F(x) = G(x) - 2.
- It was vertically compressed by a factor of 3, hence

Then the equation is:
A.

The total area of the composite figure is 176 ft
<h3>How to find the area of a composite figure?</h3>
The area of a composite figure can be found as follows;
Therefore,
Total area = area of rectangle + area of triangle
area of rectangle = lw
where
Therefore,
area of a rectangle = 16 × 8
area of a rectangle = 128 ft²
area of triangle = 1 / 2 bh
where
Therefore,
area of triangle = 1 / 2 × 12 × 8
area of triangle = 48 ft²
Total area of the composite figure = 48 + 128 = 176 ft
