Answer:
<u>The correct answer is B. {-2,4}</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's solve for x, this way:
x + 4/4 = x /x -2
(x + 4) * ((x - 2) = 4 * x
x² - 2x + 4x -8 = 4x
x² - 2x + 4x -8 - 4x = 0
x² - 2x -8 = 0
(x - 4) * (x +2) = 0
x - 4 = 0
x + 2 = 0
x₁ = 4
x₂ = - 2
<u>The correct answer is B. {-2,4}</u>
Answer:
f(4) = 3
x = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
Line graphed shows a linear function.
Since this line passes through two points (4, 3) and (-1, 4)
Let the function is,
f(x) = mx + b
where 'm' = slope of the line
b = y-intercept of the line
Slope 'm' = 
= 
= 
f(x) = 
Since a point (4, 3) lies on the line,
f(4) = 
3 = 
b = 3 + 0.8
b = 3.8
Therefore, f(x) = -0.2x + 3.8
For x = 4
f(4) = -0.2(4) + 3.8
= -0.8 + 3.8
= 3.0
For f(x) = 4
4 = -0.2x + 3.8
0.2x = 3.8 - 4
x = 
x = -1
Yes...the person's hypothesis could be correct.
