You only flip the inequality sign when you multiply or divide both sides by a negative number.
================================================
Problem 1

The inequality sign flip happens because we divided both sides by -8.
The graph will have a closed circle at 4 with shading to the left.
Three solutions are x = 0, x = 1, x = 2. You can pick any three numbers you want as long as they are 4 or smaller.
================================================
Problem 2

The graph will have an open circle at 13/3 = 4&1/3 = 4.333 approx. The shading is to the left. No inequality sign flip happens because we divided both sides by a positive number.
Your choice of three solutions is correct. You can pick anything smaller than 4.3333
================================================
Problem 3

The solution set is any value 3 or larger. Three solutions are x = 5, x = 6 and x = 7.
The graph has a closed circle at 3 on the number line. The shading is to the right.
A.
(0,00
(2.6,7.9)
(4.8,12.4)
(9.7,15.1)
b.
well, the points don't look like they are on the line but they actually are (plot twist)
so
since (0,0) is on th egarph
0=a(0)²+b(0)+c
0=c
so
f(x)=ax²+bx+0 or
f(x)=ax²+bx
find a and b
sub points
(2.6,7.9)
7.9=a(2.6)²+b(2.6)
7.9=6.76a+2.6b
(4.8,12.4)
12.4=a(4.8)²+b(4.8)
12.4=23.04a+4.8b
use those 2 equations
7.9=6.76a+2.6b
12.4=23.04a+4.8b
eliminate b
multiply first equation by -4.8 and 2nd by 2.6 and add them
-37.92=-32.448a-12.48b
32.24=59.904a-12.48b +
-5.68=27.456a+0b
-5.68=27.456a
divide both sides by 27.456
(-5.68/27.456)=a
find b
12.4=23.04a+4.8b
12.4=(-130.8672/27.456)+4.8b
12.4+(130.8672/27.456)=4.8b
(12.4+(130.8672/27.456))/4.8=b
da equation is

c. the roots are found with your calculator
the roots are at x=0 and x=17.287323943662
so very close to the target but not exactly on it
if the target has a radius of 0.287323943662 or more then it will hit the target
i dont get it...what are the elements of each letter?
