The answer would be C because they say if 3 new students arrived each year.

Hello!</h2>
The answer is:
The answer is the fourth option,

<h2>
Why?</h2>
Piecewise functions are functions that are composed by two or more expressions, the expression to use will depend of the domain or input that we need to evaluate.
We are given the piecewise function:

There, we know that:
We should use the first expression if the value to evaluate is less than -2.
So, for this case, the function will be:

We should use the second expression if the value to evaluate is greater or equal than 2.
So, for this case, the function will be:

Now, since we are given that the value to evaluate is -3, and its less than -2, we need to use the first expression, and evaluate it.

So, evaluating the function we have:



Hence, we have that the answer is the fourth option,

Have a nice day!
Area of triangle=1/2(base×height)
360=1/2((4x-2)(7x+5))
720=(4x-2)(7x+5)
FOIL the binomial
720=28x^2+6x-10
Bring 720 to the other side
28x^2+6x-10-720=0
28x^2+6x-730=0
Factor 2 out
2(14x^2+3x-365)=0
Factor 2(14x+73)(x-5)=0
x-5=0
x=5
It can't be 14x-73=0 because the length can't be negative.
You're welcome.
In the question, it is already given that the total number of runners in the race is 60 and out of them 1/3 dropped out in the first half. In the second half 1/4 of the remaining runners dropped out.
Now
Total number of runners in the race = 60
Number of runners that dropped out in the first half = 1/3 * 60
= 20
Number of runners remaining = 60 - 20
= 40
Number of runners dropping out in the second half = 40 * 1/4
= 10
Then the number of runners that finished the race = 40 - 10
= 30
Then 30 runners completed the race.
