△cde maps to △stu with the transformations (x, y) arrowright (x − 2, y − 2) arrowright (3x, 3y) arrowright (x, −y). if cd = a + 1, de = 2a − 1, st = 2b + 3 and tu = b + 6, find the values of a and b. the value of a is and the value of b is .

Ineeeeed this is due tomorrow and i dont know the answer can you find all the exponents

Stefano accidentally dropped his sunglasses off the edge of a canyon as he was looking down. the height, h(t), in meters (as it relates to sea level), of the sunglasses after t seconds, is shown in the table. during its descent, the pair of sunglasses passed by a climber in the canyon 6 seconds after stefano dropped them. to the nearest meter, what is difference in elevation between stefano and the climber? 166 meters 176 meters 230 meters 240 meters its b.176 i took the test 166 is wrong and 176 is correct
