Answer:

x ∈ [-2, 7]

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation ...

x^2 -5x -4 ≤ 10

can be rewritten as ...

x^2 -5x -14 ≤ 0

and factored as ...

(x +2)(x -7) ≤ 0

Clearly, the "or equal to" condition will be met when x=-2 and x=7. For values of x between these numbers, one factor is negative and the other is positive. Hence the product will be negative. So, numbers in that interval are the solution set.

x ∈ [-2, 7]

26.891 to the nearest ten thousands place

Ahat [919]

the number isn't large enough to round to the nearest ten thousandths.

that would be the 4th digit to the right of the decimal point, so we would need the 4th and 5th numbers to the right in order to round the answer.

Is it the green? Which line has a slope of 2?

OleMash [197]

Answer:

With all the lines, I may be wrong. But I'm confident that line B has a slope of 2.

This is because it rises up 2 up the y axis for every one unit on the x axis.
