Question

18) What value of x makes R(x) = 10

Answer 1

Two Answers:  x = 2 and x = 10

========================================================

Explanation:

Draw a horizontal line through 10 on the y axis. This is because R(x) = 10 is the same as y = 10. The output of the function is the y value.

See the diagram below.

The horizontal line crosses the parabola at two locations. From those points, draw a vertical line straight down to the x axis. Note how we land at x = 2 and x = 10. This means that R(2) = 10 and R(10) = 10.
