4 0

Answer: Choice B) (2,0)

======================================

Set the first piece equal to zero and solve for x

x^2 - 4 = 0

x^2 = 4

x = sqrt(4) or x = -sqrt(4)

x = 2 or x = -2

Keep in mind that the first piece y = x^2-4 is only graphed when x = 2 or larger, so we ignore x = -2. This is one x intercept, but there may be more. Let's check the other graph to see what we get.

----------

Set the second piece equal to zero and solve for x

x-2 = 0

x-2+2 = 0+2

x = 2

We get the same result as above in the prior section. Because of this, the two pieces connect at this junction point.

The x intercept x = 2 leads to the location (2,0). The x intercept always occurs when y = 0.

The graph below shows this.

side note: the red piece y = x^2 - 4 looks linear, but it's actually not a straight line. It's just a really stretched out curve.

8. The scatter plot shows a hiker's elevation above
g100num [7]

Answer:

The hiker's elevation  after 145 minutes will be 1958 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the trend line of the scatter plot showing a hiker's elevation is y = 8.77x + 686 .......... (1), where x is in minutes (say) and y is in meters (say).

Now, we have to predict the hiker's elevation after 145 minutes.

So, from equation (1) we get, y = 8.77 × 145 + 686 = 1957.65 ≈ 1958 meters. (Answer)
