Find the slope of the line that passes through \( (1,16) \) and \( (5,9) \). Simplify your answer and write it as a proper fraction, improper fraction, or integer.

Determine whether the following statment is true or false. The graph of \( y=\frac{1}{7} g(x) \) is the graph of \( y=g(x) \) stretched by a factor of 7 . Choose the correct answer below. A. True, because the graph of the new function is obtained by adding 7 to each \( x \)-coordinate. Balse, because the graph of the new function is obtained by multiplying each \( y \)-coordinate of \( y=g(x) \) by \( \frac{1}{7}<1 \). C. True, because the graph of the new function is obtained by multiplying each \( y \)-coordinate of \( y=g(x) \) by 7 and \( 7>1 \). D. False, because the graph of the new function is obtained by adding 7 to each \( x \)-coordinate.

8. \( [5-68 . c] \quad \) Write the explicit rule and determine the 100 th term for the given sequence. \( \quad 24,19,14, \ldots \)

The postal service of a country charges \( \$ 0.36 \) postage for a letter weighing up to 1 ounce, plus \( \$ 0.26 \) for each additional ounce up to 5 ounces. Letters weighing more than 5 ounces do not qualify for these rates. \( C(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{ll}\$ \square & \text { if } 0<x \leq 1 \\ \text { (a) Write a piecewise-defined function } C \text { for the postage charged for a letter weighing } x \text { ounces. } \\ \$ \square & \text { if } 3<x \leq 4 \\ \$ \square & \text { if } 4<x \leq 5\end{array}\right. \)

Use propenties of logarithms to condense the logarithmic expression. Write the expression as a single logarithm whose coefficient is 1 . Where possible, evaluate logarithmic expressions. \( 7 \ln (x-4) \) - \( 3 \ln x \)

Gegee die funksie \( f(x)=3^{-x} \). 6.1 Gee die vergelyking van \( g \) indien \( g \) die refleksie van \( f \) in die \( y \)-as is en wat 3 eenhede afwaarts geskuif word. B.2 Bereken die \( x \)-afsnit van \( g \).
