For an exponential function in the form of y=ab to the power of x , if b is between 0 and 1, what happens to the graph of the function as x increases? a. the graph gets closer to the x-axis. b. the graph gets closer to the y-axis. c. the graph curves up away from the x-axis. d. the graph curves down away from the x-axis.

286 divided by 457.6 what is the quotient?

Arrange the steps to solve this system of linear equations in the correct sequence. x + y = -2 2x – 3y = -9 tiles subtract 3x + 3y = -6 (obtained in step 1) from 2x – 3y = -9 (given) to solve for x. substitute the value of x in the first equation (x + y = -2) to get y = 1. the solution for the system of equations is (-3, 1). x = -15 the solution for the system of equations is (-15, 13). add 3x + 3y = -6 (obtained in step 1) to 2x – 3y = -9 (given), and solve for x. x = -3 substitute the value of x in the first equation (x + y = -2) to get y = 13. multiply the first equation by 3: 3(x + y) = 3(-2) 3x + 3y = -6.

Shape a is congruent to shape , as shown by a reflection across the y-axis and then a translation down units. shape b is congruent to shape , as shown by a reflection across the y-axis and then a translation down units.
