Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>First, find the equation of the line</u>.
<em>Slope-intercept form</em> of a linear equation: 
(where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept)
From inspection of the graph, the y-intercept is at (0, -4)
Therefore, b = -4
Choose another point on the line, e.g. (7, 0)
Now use the slope formula to find the slope:
where:
Therefore, the equation of the line is:
For an inequality, the dashed line means < or > (whereas a solid line means ≤ or ≥)
As the shading is below the line, we need to use <
Therefore, the final inequality is:
Problem 1
Answer: year 4
---------------------
The break-even point is when the profit is $0. You neither earn money nor lose it.
Plug in p(x) = 0 and solve for x
p(x) = x^3 - 4x^2 + 5x - 20
x^3 - 4x^2 + 5x - 20 = p(x)
x^3 - 4x^2 + 5x - 20 = 0 ... replace p(x) with 0
(x^3 - 4x^2) + (5x - 20) = 0
x^2(x - 4) + 5(x - 4) = 0
(x^2+5)(x - 4) = 0
x^2+5 = 0 or x-4 = 0
The equation x^2+5 = 0 has no real solutions; however x-4 = 0 solves to x = 4.
So plugging x = 4 into p(x) will lead to p(x) = 0. Meaning that the company breaks even at year 4.

Problem 2
Answer: choice B) between 2.5 and 3.0; between 4.0 and 4.5
---------------------
Look at the f(x) column. Specifically we are looking for the times when the numbers change from positive to negative, or vice versa. Somewhere in between this change, y will have to equal 0 at some point (at least once). Note how in row 2 and row 3, we have f(x) = 1.1 change to f(x) = -0.8; so the change is from positive to negative.
This means f(x) = 0 for some x value between x = 2.5 and x = 3.5. Also, the same kind of logic applies for the last two rows of the table as well pointing to another root between x = 4.0 and x = 4.5 (check out the attached images)

Answer:D
Step-by-step explanation: trust me ima sophomore use this for help y=1/2x+4 then x value change it to the number in the x section then if the y appears just like in the box the y section it’s correct
Answer:
(C) 245 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
We can view the starting and ending flight points as the hypotenuse of a right-angle triangle. Since the plane flew 125 miles south, the height of the triangle is 125 and we are given the hypotenuse as 275
If we designate the height as a and the hypotenuse as h, and the base as b then
h² = a² + b² by the Pythagorean theorem
or
b² = h² - a² ==> (h + a)(h - a) {x² - y² = (x + y) (x -y)}
Substituting known values
b² = 275² - 125² = (275 + 125)(275-125) = 400 x 150 = 60,000
b = √60000 = 244.94 and the closest answer is C: 245 miles
