1.) The graph of g(x) = ax? opens downward and is narrower than the graph of f(x) = x? Which of the following could be the value of a?
a. 5
b. 0.5
C. -5
d. -0.5​

C. -5

Step-by-step explanation:

for g(x) =ax and f(x) = x, both are linear function. There is nothing to be upward or downward and both are lines nothing to compare its narrowness.

If g(x) = ax² vs f(x) = x²

Then a = -5 is the answer (-: downward and 5: vertical stretch)

i can

step-by-step explanation:

x ≥ 18 is your answer

step-by-step explanation:

let "a number" = x

(2/3)x + 17 ≥ 29

isolate the variable (x). do the opposite of pemdas (parenthesis, exponent (& root), multiplication, division, addition, subtraction).

first, subtract 17 from both sides.

(2/3)x + 17 (-17) ≥ 29 (-17)

(2/3)x ≥ 29 - 17

(2/3)x ≥ 12

next, multiply 3/2 to both sides to isolate the x

(3/2)(2/3)x ≥ 12(3/2)

x ≥ 12(3/2)

simplify. multiply, then divide

x ≥ (12 * 3)/2

x ≥ (36)/2

x ≥ 18

x ≥ 18 is your answer
