Helga and Dora were solving the following problem together. A boat left Kyuquot and headed west at 15.5 km/h. A second boat left

Kyuquot half an hour later and headed west at 18 km/h. For how many hours did the first boat travel before the second boat overtook it? Both girls used t to represent the time taken by the first boat. However, they disagreed on the equation to model the situation. Helga’s Equation Dora’s Equation 15.5t = 18(t + 0.5) 15.5t = 18(t - 0.5) a) Explain what the expression on each side of each equation represents. b) Which equation is correct? Explain. c) What is the solution to the problem?

Which of the following is the graph of f(x) = x2 + 3x − 4?
xenn [34]

Answer:

2nd graph

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f(x) = x² + 3x - 4

To find the zeros let f(x) = 0 , that is

x² + 3x - 4 = 0 ← in standard form

(x + 4)(x - 1) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 4 = 0 ⇒ x = - 4

x - 1 = 0 ⇒ x = 1

The only graph with zeros at x = - 4 and x = 1 is the 2nd graph
