Answer:
B. graph B
Step-by-step explanation:
The graphs of A,B,C and D are attached below.
Let x represent the credit amount and y represent the minimum amount due.
For a bill of less than $100, the entire amount is due. That is for 0 ≤ x < $100, y = x
For a bill of at least $100 but less than $500, the minimum due is $100. That is for $100 ≤ x < $500, y = 100
For a bill of at least $500 but less than $1,000, the minimum due is $300. That is for $500 ≤ x < $1000, y = $300
For a bill of $1,000 or more, the minimum due is $500. But the credit limit is $2000. That is For $1000 ≤ x < $2000, y = $500
The graph that shows the minimum amount due for a credit amount of x is graph B
if we have a number like say hmm 4, and we say hmmm √4 is ±2, it simply means, that if we multiply that number twice by itself, we get what's inside the root, we get the 4, so (+2)(+2) = 4, and (-2)(-2) = 4, recall that <u>minus times minus = plus</u>.
so, any when we're referring to even roots like
, the positive number, that can multiply itself an even amount of times, will produce a valid value, BUT the negative number that multiply itself an even amount of times, will also produce a valid value.
now, that's is not true for odd roots like
, because the multiplication of the negative number will not produce a valid value, let's put two examples on that.

so, when the root is an odd root, you will always get only one number that will produce the radicand.
Okay, you now a triangle has 180º degrees and to add to 180º, you have to add all the numbers you have like this:
2x+x+90 (the box is 90º)=180º; add like terms like 2x+x
3x+90=180; cancel 90 by subtracting it and also subtract 90 from 180
3x=90;divide 3 to isolate x and also divide 90/3
x=30 :)
