I would divide 15.26 by 4.36 then check it by multiplying 4.36 by the original answer
Formula for distance between two points is
d∧2=(x2-x1)∧2+(y2-y1)∧2 in our case (x1,y1)=(k,q) and (x2,y2)=(0,0)
d∧2=(0-k)∧2+(0-q)∧2= k∧2+q∧2 => d=√(k∧2+q∧2)
Good luck!!!
Problem 1
Answer: Choice B. X is greater than or equal to 4
The closed circle at 4 indicates that this value is included in the solution set. So we will have an "or equal to" as part of the answer. The shading to the right suggests "greater than". Combine "greater than" and "or equal to" and we have a "greater than or equal to" sign.
===================================================
Problem 2
Everywhere is shaded but -4 on the number line. So x can be any number but -4. The answer isn't listed (probably got cut off), but it should be
(x is not equal to -4). The slash through the equal sign means "not equal to"
The answer will be 7x^2 + 5x
