The correct answer is b. The domain of the function is in terms of x, so we are looking at the x-axis. The line stretches from 3 to 7 on the x-axis, so we know that b is our answer.
X^2-7=0
Add 7 to both sides.
x^2=7
Find the sqr root of 7.
It's about 2.6
The painter needs at least two gallons of paint to cover the wall.
To get this answer, you first need to find the area of the wall; by multiplying 20.5 x 16.4. This will get you 336.2.
Then, you need to divide 336.2 by 200. This will get you approx. 1.6.
If it's asking for partial gallons as well, stop here. Your answer is 1.6.
If not, continue.
Unless you're including partial gallons, you can't get 1.6 gallons of paint, so you need to round up. This will be 2 gallons.
Take the fraction. Divide the top number by the bottom number. (That's what a fraction means.). Some fractions will produce a decimal that goes on and on and never ends. Some fractions produce a decimal that ends. Some examples that make repeating decimals are: 1/3, 1/7, 1/9, 1/11.
