The diagonals of a square bisect one another and are perpendicular.
so 21x+ 16.5 = 90
subtract 16.5 from each side
21x = 73.5
divide by 21 on each side
21x/21 = 73.5 /21
x = 3.5
It is often more convenient to evaluate a polynomial when it is written is "Horner form."
... f(x) = (((10x -4)x -8)x +3)x -6
The graphs offered can be distinguished by their values of f(1) and f(2), so our table can be a short one.
... f(1) = (((10·1 -4)1 -8)1 +3)1 -6 = -5 . . . . . . . eliminates graph d
... f(2) = (((10·2 -4)2 -8)2 +3)2 -6 = 96 . . . . eliminates graphs a and c
The appropriate choice is b.
The answer is 3 1/2 divided by 1 1/2 because those equal 7.
