If CDG ~ EDF, find the value of x.
2x+7
5x-2
48
40

x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

48/5x-2 = 40/2x+7

48(2x+7) = 40(5x-2)

96x+336 = 200x-80

-96x           -96x

336 = 104x-80

+80            +80

416/104 = 104x/104

x = 4

b. 6

step-by-step explanation:

we are given the table representing an exponential function.

we can see from the table that, as x is increasing, the value of y is increasing in the power of 6.

i.e. the following relation is obtained,

x = 1, y = 6

x = 2, y = 36 =

x = 3, y = 216 =

x = 4, y = 1296 =

x = 5, y = 7776 =

so, the geometric series obtained is .

thus, the common ratio is given by = = 6.

hence, the common ratio is 6.
