Rationalizing the denominator, simply means "getting rid of that pesky root at the bottom", and we do so by simply multiplying it by something to take it out, of course, we multiply the bottom, we have to also multiply the top,

We are given function: y= 
Where, x is the number of hours after 5a.m.
We need to approximates the number of people standing in line to catch a commuter train at 7 a.m.
From 5 a.m. to 7 a.m. total number of hours = 7-5 = 2 hours.
So, we need to plug x=2 in the given function.
Plugging x=2 in
, we get

Let us simplify it now.
2^2= 4.
Therefore,

= -20.524 + 63.642 - 3.333.
= 39.785 or 40 approximately.
Therefore, the number of people in line at 7 a.m. is approximately 40 people.
Option D.40 is correct option.
$3.00 I think. Hope this helps
Answer:
200
Step-by-step explanation:
So it'll be 400 ÷ 2 = 200 , and a way to to check your way would be 200 x 2 = 400
Axis of symmetry for this function will be x=2 because your origin point is always the reference for the line of symmetry. In this case, it as been shifted to the right 2 units giving you x=2. Firstly, the transformation is a horizontal stretch by a factor of 10. Secondly, it is shifted 2 units to the right and finally shifted 7 units down. Remember when a constant is added or subtracted to x in a function, it is shifted the number of u its opposite of the constant. When there is a constant separate from x, such as outside parentheses or absolute value bars, it is shifted up or down the given amount.
