Which function is represented by the graph below?

f(x) = 3x
f(x) = 3x − 3
f(x) = 3x + 3
f(x) = 3(x + 3)

answer: we have from thales theorem that because the 2 triangles are similar, jm/jk=jn/jl. we have that jn=x, jl=x+24 and that jm=7 and jk=28. substituting, we get:

x/(x+24)=7/28.

hence, x/(x+24)=1/4. this leads to 4x=x+24, 3x=24, x=8. we have solved for x=jn and this is equal to 8.

step-by-step explanation:

d = distance between moon and sun, which in this problem is the hypotenuse of a right triangle.  

the distance y is the side opposite to angle x in the right triangle.   use the definition of the sine function from basic trigonometry.

sin(x) = y/d ⇒

d = y/sin(x)

its 4 because 2 times 2 is 4, if you double the number two you get four
