Question is not complete and so I have attached the complete question.

Answer:

C: f(x) = -½x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Using slope formula between 2 points, we know that;

slope; m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

Let's consider 2 points from the table;

(0, 4) and (-4, 6)

Thus;

m = (6 - 4)/(-4 - 0)

m = 2/-4

m = -½

Now using slope intercept form equation which is y - y1 = m(x - x1), we can find the equation of the function by picking on point say (0, 4).

Thus;

y - 4 = -½(x - 0)

y - 4 = -½x

y = -½x + 4

Thus;

f(x) = -½x + 4

A vertical stretch by a factor of 2 of F(x) = -2|x-2|+4 would result in the revised function G(x) = -4|x-2|+4. The vertex would stay in the same place (2,4).

A roped-off area of width x is created around a 30- by 10-foot rectangular museum display of Native American artifacts. The comb

Answer: $4x^{2}+80x-500=0$

Step-by-step explanation:

1. You know that:

- The roped-off area whose width is represented with x, it is created around a rectangular museum.

- The dimensions of the rectangular museum are: 30 ft by 10 ft.

- The combined area of the display and the roped-off area is 800 ft².

2. The area of the rectangular museum can be calculated with:

$A=l*w$

Where $l$ is the lenght and $w$ is the width.

You have that the lenght and the width in feet are:

$l=30\\w=10$

3. Let's call $x$ the width of the roped-off area. Then, the combined area is:

$A_c=l_c*w_c$

Where

$A_c=800$

$l_c=l+x+x=30+2x$

$w_c=w+x+x=10+2x$

4. Substitute values and simplify. Then:

$800=(30+2x)(10+2x)$

$800=300+60x+20x+4x^{2}\\4x^{2}+80x-500=0$

A rocket is launched from atop a 105-foot cliff with an initial velocity of 156 ft/s. The height of the rocket above the ground

lisabon 2012 [21]

H = –16t2 + 156t + 105, when t = t', the time where the rocket hit the ground after it is launched, so 105= –16t'2 + 156t' + 105, so -16t'2 + 156t' = 0 implies t' =0 or -16t'+ 156= 0, equivalent to t'=9.75, so the answer is
b) 9.8 s
