Answer:
(d) h = 2A/b
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply both sides of the equation by the inverse of the coefficient of h.
1. d
x-intercept (y=0) is -4
y-intercept (x=0) is 8
2. d
x-intercept (y=0) is 16
y-intercept (x=0) is 20
3. b
y=1/6x+4
multiplied by 6
6y=x+24
-x+6y=24
4. a 4.75k+2.25p=22
I assume you mean one that is not rational, such as √2. In such a case, you make a reasonable estimate of it's position, and then label the point that you plot.
For example, you know that √2 is greater than 1 and less than 2, so put the point at about 1½ (actual value is about 1.4142).
For √3, you know the answer is still less than 4, but greater than √2. If both of those points are required to be plotted just make sure you put it in proper relation, otherwise about 1¾ is plenty good (actual value is about 1.7321).
If you are going to get into larger numbers, it's not a bad idea to just learn a few roots. Certainly 2, 3, and 5 (2.2361) and 10 (3.1623) shouldn't be too hard.
Then for a number like 20, which you can quickly workout is √4•√5 or 2√5, you could easily guess about 4½ (4.4721).
They're usually not really interested in your graphing skills on this sort of exercise. They just want you to demonstrate that you have a grasp of the magnitude of irrational numbers.
