In this case, the best way to work this out is to find what 1cm is equal to. In this case, you have to divide 51/3, giving you 17. You know that 17 feet. You can now divide 187/17, giving you 11. Therefore, 11cm is equal to 187 feet. Hope this helps

\\\\\\
A=4000\left(1+\frac{0.02}{1}\right)^{1\cdot 4}\implies A=4000(1.02)^4\implies A\approx 4329.73$

then she turns around and grabs those 4329.73 and put them in an account getting 8% APR I assume, so is annual compounding, for 7 years.

add both amounts, and that's her investment for the 11 years.

It's the graphs that don't touch the x-axis have complex roots. Roots are the points where the parabola touches the x-axis. A,C and E all cross/touch the x-axis so they have real roots.
