Answer:
I hav this same question :(
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: A. As x → ∞, f(x) → ∞, and as x → –∞, f(x) → ∞.
-8 = -7x-1
bring -1 to the other side as we are isolating for x so it will be
-7 = -7x then divide -7 from each side
-7/-7 = (-7/-7)x
1 = x
Answer is f(1)= -8
This is something you would do through trial and error. At least, that's the approach I took. I'm not sure if there is any algorithm to solve. The solution I got is shown in the attached image below. There are probably other solutions possible. The trick is to keep each number separate but not too far away so that the other numbers to be filled in later don't get too crowded to their neighbor.
Side note: any mirror copy of what I posted would work as well since you can flip the page around and it's effectively the same solution.
The angles are the only constraint here that counts. If one of the three interior angles of a supposed triangle is 50 degrees and another is 80 degrees, then the third angle must be 50 degrees. Thus, we have a 50-50-80 triangle, which is isosceles though not a right triangle. If 4 feet is a measure of one of the equal sides of a supposed triangle, then obviously the adjacent side also has measure 4 ft.
The set of angles remains the same (50-50-80), but subject to the constraint mentioned above, the measure of any one of the sides has infinitely many possible values, so long as those values are positive.
