An imaginary number is a complex number that can be written as a real number multiplied by the imaginary unit i, which is defined by it's property i² = −1. The square of an imaginary number bi is −b². For example, 5i is an imaginary number, and it's square is −25.
$11.00 $6.50 that's is the answer
<h3>Answers:</h3>
- first box = 0
- second box = 0
- third box = 4
- fourth box = -3
It's not a typo that 0 is written twice.

Explanation:
This is considered a step function because it resembles steps or a staircase. The vertical pieces aren't drawn to allow it to remain a function (or else it fails the vertical line test). Also there should be open holes at each left endpoint.
Recall that any horizontal line has a slope of 0 due to the fact that the rise is 0
slope = rise/run
The rise takes care of the vertical change in position. But if the line doesn't go up or down, then rise = 0 leads to slope = 0.
In short, the slope of each horizontal portion is 0. It doesn't matter which sub-section you focus on.
This is why you'll type 0 into the first two boxes.
------------------
As for the remaining two boxes, you'll be looking where the graph is the highest and the lowest to determine the max and min y values respectively.
We see that y peaks at y = 4 at the very top. So you'll type 4 into the third box.
Furthermore, we see that the lowest part of the graph is when y = -3. Therefore, this is the minimum aka smallest y value and you'll type -3 into the fourth box.
So let's start with the slope-intercept form of a linear equation. That is y = mx+b where m is slope and b is the y intercept. But, this is an inequality. So first we have to look at the way the graph is shaded. Since it is shaded upwards, you know that it is in the form of y ≥ mx + b. It tells you that the y-intercept is c because the line hits the y-axis at (0,c). Hence the equation is now y ≥ mx + c. But now, we have to find the slope of the graph. This is found by "rise over run" (I am sure you have heard of this). Count how many units the graph went down/up and how many units the graph went left/right and put it in fraction form of (units down or up) / (units left or right). Well it moves 2 units down so plug -2 into the top. It moved 1 unit right, so plug +1 into the denominator. So, the slope is -2. Hence we finally have our formula: y ≥ -2x + c which is the 5th choice.
