I’m the figure below, the segment is parallel to one side of the triangle. Find the value of x

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

12/x = 16 / (x + 6)

Cross multiply

16x = 12(x + 6)

Distributive property

16x = 12x + 72

4x = 72

x = 18

Answer 2

Answer:

Answer:

x = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

If a line is parallel to a side of a triangle and it intersects the other 2 sides, it divides those sides proportionally, hence

$(x)/(12)$ = $(x+6)/(16)$ ( cross- multiply )

16x = 12(x + 6)

16x = 12x + 72 ( subtract 12x from both sides )

4x = 72 ( divide both sides by 4 )

x = 18

Which exponential function goes through the points (1,32) and (4,2048)

Answers

Answer:

y=8*4^x

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the exponential function be of the form y=A*B^x

We want to find constant A and B.

So I'm going to use (1,32) giving me 32=A*B

I'm going to use (4,2048) giving me 2048=A*B^4

2048/32=64

A*B^4/A*B=B^3

So If you divide the equation 2048=A*B^4 by 32=A*B

we get 64=B^3

which gives us B=4

Since 32=A*B and B=4 then A=8

So the answer is y=8*4^x
