Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Second one is faster, so let's get rid of it first.
Divide by 2 to make numbers easier, and we get
. You should recognize 81 is 9 squared, and both
and
, when squared, give 81, we have our solution.
Now the first. I can't spot any quick trick to solve it, so quadratic formula it is. Let's rememer it: if
then

Let's bring the first equation in the standard form and calculate the quantity over the square root (usually called with the greek letter delta,
) to the side.

now we can apply the formula:
Let's split the two cases now

Equation of line is:

Step-by-step explanation:
The slope is defined the rate of change of line w.r.t x. When a line is horizontal. it is parallel to x-axis which means that it's slope is equal to zero.
So the slope intercept form of equation

become

Given point is: (-4,-2)
Putting the value of y in equation

So the equation will become:

It can also be written as:

Answer: 9.85 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Each point on the graph represents the total rainfall in one month in this desert. For instance, the 2 points on top of 1.0 inches indicates that there were two months in the year where rainfall was 1.0 inches.
The total rainfall in this desert was therefore:
= 0.4 + 0.5 + 0.5+ 0.6 + 0.85 + 0.85 + 0.95 + 1.0 + 1.0 + 1.05 + 1.05 + 1.1
= 9.85 inches
