The general form of a quadratic equation is that which is expressed in a form,
ax² + bx + c = 0
To write the equation in its general form, eliminate the decimal by multiplying the equation by 10. It now becomes,
3x² + 50x - 70 = 0
The value of b is therefore 50 and the answer is the second choice.

Answer:

The correct option is the graph on the bottom right whose screen grab is attached (please find)

Step-by-step explanation:

The information given are;

The required model height for the designed clothes should be less than or equal to 5 feet 10 inches

The equation for the variance in height is of the straight line form;

y = m·x + c

Where x is the height in inches

Given that the maximum height allowable is 70 inches, when x = 0 we have;

y = m·0 + c = 70

Therefore, c = 70

Also when the variance = 0 the maximum height should be 70 which gives the x and y-intercepts as 70 and 70 respectively such that m = 1

The equation becomes;

y ≤ x + 70

Also when x > 70, we have y ≤ $\mid$ -x + 70 $\mid$ with a slope of -1

To graph an inequality, we shade the area of interest which in this case of ≤ is on the lower side of the solid line and the graph that can be used to determine the possible variance levels that would result in an acceptable height is the bottom right inequality graph.
