Answer: c) 3
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Plug in y = -9 and the given x-value to see if it makes a true statement.
a) -4.5 falls in the piecewise function x < -3 --> y = -x
y = -x
-9 = -(-4.5)
-9 = 4.5 FALSE
b) -3 falls in the piecewise function -3 ≤ x ≤ -2 --> y = 2x
y = 2x
-9 = 2(-3)
-9 = -6 FALSE
c) 3 falls in the piecewise function x > -2 --> y = -x²
y = -x²
-9 = -(-3)²
-9 = -9 TRUE
d) 9 falls in the piecewise function x > -2 --> y = -x²
y = -x²
-9 = -(9)²
-9 = -81 FALSE
Actual area = 42ft²
The actual area will simply be calculated as:
= 6 × 7
= 42 feet²
First, we need to solve for the common ratio from the data given by using the equation.
a(n) = a(1) r^(n-1)
15 = -3 r^(2-1)
-5 = r
r = -5
Then, we can find the sum by the expression:
S(n) = a(1) ( 1 - r^n) / 1-r
S(8) = -3 (1 + 5^8) / 1+5
S(8) = -195313
C=d x pi
d= 24
C= 24 x 3.14
C=75.36 inches
