NEED HELP ASAP A segment has endpoints M(5,-2) and N(-1,-2). After a dilation with center (0,0), M'(10,-4), and N(-2,-4). If the scale factor is 3x + 2, then which of the following is the value of x? A. 0 B. 1 C. 2 D. 3

b. x + 1

step-by-step explanation:

i'am smart

d. corresponding side lengths in similar triangles are proportional in length.

step-by-step explanation:

(a) {a₁, a₁r, a₁r², … a₁rⁿ⁻¹, …}

(b) $59 398

step-by-step explanation:

(a) the annual sequence of profits

aₙ = a₁rⁿ⁻¹

the model for the sequence of profits is {a₁, a₁r, a₁r², … a₁rⁿ⁻¹, …} .

(b) profit after 15 yr

  a₁ = $ 30 000

  r = 1.05

a₁₅ = 30 000 × 1.05¹⁴

a₁₅ = 30 000 × 1.979 93

a₁₅ = $59 398

the profit in year 15 will be $59 398.
