They're the same like integers.
First you should interpret it.
For example:
a. -3x + 8x is the same like -3 + 8. You just add x.
Which is 5x.
We see that the points of the graph of the function never attain a y-value of 0. Thus f is never equal to 0 for real numbers, hence we can disqualify all the necessary answers already (only answer not against this is 2). Nevertheless, we can show that this is the right answer. The graph is called a parabola, so it is represents a second order polynomial. These polynomials have either 2 real or 2 complex solutions. Since this does not have real solutions (at the lowest point of that polynomial the y-value is 4) the correct answer is b).
Answer:
d) none of these lines fit the data
Its simple all you have to do is multiply because if the cost per gallon is $2.50 and you have a total of 4,310 then you just multiply 4,310*$2.50 and it equals $10775 hope it helps :))
