Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
My favorite way to go at this is to look at a graph. It shows the vertex at (-2, -11). Since the leading coefficient is 2, this means the roots are ...

where the 2 in the denominator of the radical is the leading coefficient.

You can also use other clues:
- the axis of symmetry is -b/(2a) = -8/(2(2)) = -2, so answer choices C and D don't work
- the single change in sign in the coefficients (+ + -) tells you there is one positive real root, so answer choice B doesn't work.
The first answer choice is the only one with values symmetrical about -2 and one of them positive.

You may be expected to use the quadratic formula:

Answer: They are not the same.
Step-by-step explanation:
9 divided by 4 = 2.25 = 2 1/4
1/9 * 1/4 = 1/36
1/36 = 0.027...
Answer:
The first graph shows a slope of 3.
Step-by-step explanation:
If the slope is 3, it's actually 3/1 because of rise/run. So you find any point on the graph that's directly between two lines, like (-1,-5). Since the line is positive, you would go right one and up three. Then you see if that point is directly between two lines. The next point is (0, -2). If you did the same on the second graph, it wouldn't match up.
Answer:
c-24
a-156
Step-by-step explanation:
a=180-24( angles on s straight line)=156
c= 24 opposite angles
