When graphs are plotted, graphs as in the .jpeg image in attachment are obtained.
First graph is line going through ordered pair (point) (0,6) and pair (6,8).
The second graph is line going through ordered pair (6,8) and pair (8,0).
Intercept of these graphs is point (ordered pair) (6,8).
You see from the .jpeg image that the following is true:
Initial velocity of the runner is 6 meters per second (runner starts with this velocity), for a while he runs, velocity grows, then in the 6th second (time=6), runner starts to slow down and velocity starts to decrease, and runner stops totally at time = 8.
So runner stops after 8 seconds.
The 4th claim (sentence) is correct.
Answer: See each part below.
1) A, B, and C are the coefficients in order when it equals 0. Move over the 4 and you have 5, 9, -4 or Choice B.
3) If you graph the equation, it will be above the x-axis. Therefore, it has no roots. Choice D
4) Choice A is correct. Use the coefficients: A = 4, B = 3, C = -10. Simply plug those into the quadratic equation and you will get -2 and 1.25.
That is why you have an education go to school and learn your anwer.
