<h3>What is a linear function?</h3>
A linear function is modeled by:
y = mx + b
In which:
- m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.
- b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0, and can also be interpreted as the initial value of the function.
For x equal or less than -2, the line passes through (-3,-3) and (-2,-2), hence the rule is:
.
For x greater than -2 up to 1, the y-intercept is of -7, and the line also passes through (1,-8), hence the rule is:
.
For x greater than 1, the function goes through (2,-5) and (3,-3), hence the slope is:
m = (-3 - (-5))(3 - 2) = 2.
The rule is:
y = 2x + b.
When x = 2, y = -5, hence:
-5 = 2(2) + b
b = -9.
Hence:
.

Answer:
x = 1 ±2sqrt(5)
Step-by-step explanation:
2x^2-4x-9=29
Add 9 to each each side
2x^2-4x-9+9=29+9
2x^2-4x=38
Divide by 2
2/2x^2-4/2x=38/8
x^2 -2x =19
Complete the square
x^2 -2x + (-2/2)^2 = 19 +(-2/2)^2
x^2 -2x +1 = 19+1
(x-1)^1=2 = 20
Take the square root of each side
sqrt((x-1)^2) = ±sqrt(20)
x-1 = ±sqrt(20)
Add 1 to each side
x-1+1 = 1 ±sqrt(20)
x = 1 ±sqrt(20)
Simplifying the square root of 20
x = 1 ±sqrt(4)sqrt(5)
x = 1 ±2sqrt(5)
Set up a proportion like this

So your proportion would be:

We put x for offices because they are asking for the number o offices a crew can paint in 12 hours, and also we don't know the number of offices they can paint in 12 hours
so we cross multiply and we get
6x=60, we got 60 by multiplying 12 and 5
Now we divide both sides by 6 and we get
x=10
S the crew can paint 10 offices in 12 hours.
