To solve this problem, we can begin by analyzing the graph and then eliminating incorrect answers. By looking at the graph, we can see that it has a positive correlation (the graph is increasing from left to right), which tells us that it has a positive slope. Using this knowledge, we can eliminate answer choices C and D, which both suggest equations with a negative slope (which would mean that the line was decreasing from left to right).
Next, we must analyze the slope. Answer A suggests that the slope is 3/2, meaning that the line rises 3 units for every 2 units it goes across. Answer B suggests that the slope is 1/2, meaning that the line rises 1 unit for every 2 units that it goes across. If we look at the graph, let's say at the point (0,3), the next closest point is 3 units up and 2 units across, which lets us know that the slope is positive 3/2.
Therefore, your answer is A. y = 3/2x + 3 (which is confirmed by the point we recognized, (0,3), which is the y-intercept of the equation).
Hope this helps!
Do recall that squaring and the *radical sign* cancel each other out... like so:(

)

= a
When you put it that way, it isn't enough :P
(

)

= a

=?
so you start with
(

)

=

8x+1=25 <-- subtract 1 to both sides
8x=24 <- divide 8 to both sides
x= 3
To find out if it's an extraneous solution ask yourself: It mustn't result in a radical that I like to call... 'illegal'. Plug it into the radicand 8x+1 and make sure you get something that is not a negative number.... so, DO you get a negative number when you plug in x = 3 into the radicand?
(extraneous solution is a invalid solution)
x=3 not extraneous
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Instead, since the divisor is in the form of
, use what is called Synthetic Division. Remember, in this formula,
gives you the OPPOSITE terms of what they really are, so do not forget it. Anyway, here is how it is done:
4| 1 −5 7 −12
↓ 4 −4 12
_______________
1 −1 3 0 → 
You start by placing the
in the top left corner, then list all the coefficients of your dividend [x³ - 5x² + 7x - 12]. You bring down the original term closest to
then begin your multiplication. Now depending on what symbol your result is tells you whether the next step is to subtract or add, then you continue this process starting with multiplication all the way up until you reach the end. Now, when the last term is 0, that means you have no remainder. Finally, your quotient is one degree less than your dividend, so that 1 in your quotient can be an
, the −1 [
] follows right behind it, and bringing up the rear, comes the 3, giving you the quotient of
.

Let x represent the smaller angle. Then the larger one is 20+4x. Since they are complementary, their sum is 90. (All measures are degrees.)
90 = x + (20+4x)
90 = 5x +20
70 = 5x
14 = x
The smaller angle is 14°.
The larger angle is 76°.
