Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We will use 2 coordinates from the table along with the standard form for an exponential function to write the equation that models that data. The standard form for an exponential function is
where x and y are coordinates from the table, a is the initial value, and b is the growth/decay rate. I will use the first 2 coordinates from the table: (0, 3) and (1, 1.5)
Solving first for a:
. Sine anything in the world raised to a power of 0 is 1, we can determine that
a = 3. Using that value along with the x and y from the second coordinate I chose, I can then solve for b:
. Since b to the first is just b:
1.5 = 3b so
b = .5
Filling in our model:
Since the value for b is greater than 0 but less than 1 (in other words a fraction smaller than 1), this table represents a decay function.
Answer: Like the angles BAC (56°) and BDC has the same arc BC in the circumference, these angles must be congruent, then angle BDC must be equal to 56°.
Answer:
48, since the numbers are next to each other with no sign, they need to be multiplied, and a negative times a negative is a positive

Answer:
x = 9/4
Step-by-step explanation:
Locate point G on segment DE so that DG = 1 and GE = 4. CG is parallel to AD, so ΔCGE ~ ΔABC. Corresponding sides are proportional.
AB/BC = CG/GE
x/1 = 9/4
x = 9/4
_____
<em>Additional comment</em>
Using the given triangles, you can write the proportion statement as ...
(9+x)/x = 5/1
We judge this to take more steps to solve, so we prefer the method shown above.
