Lets plug in the answer choices and see which one works
A. x = -6
| -6 | < 3
6 < 3
False, so A is not the answer
B. x = -5
| -5 | < 3
5 < 3
False, so B isn't the answer
C. x = -1
| -1 | < 3
1 < 3
True, so C is the answer.
But lets just check D to make sure C is the answer.
D. x = 2
| 2 | < 3
2 < 3
False, so D isn't the answer either.
C is your answer :)
A circle with center
and radius
has equation

If we substitute
in this equation, we have

This equation has two solutions (i.e. the line intersects the circle in two points) if and only if the determinant is greater than zero:

The expression simplifies to

The solutions to the associated equation are

So, the parabola is negative between the two solutions:

For this answer I believe it would be best if you did it on paper
Decibel is directly proportional to number of cars passing the point. That is,
69 db ----- 139 cars
x db ----- 17 cars
x = number of cars passing the point per minute on a weekend.
Then,
x= (69*17)/139 = 8.43 db ≈ 8 db
