well, 6.2% of 4,300 can't be over half. she has made a calculation error, and the real answer is (this is where the mistake was made) 4,300 * 0.062 (not 6.2, because percents are always divided by 100 to make them into a usable number), which is equal to $266.60.
We can determine the correct graph by finding its roots
x² - 4x - 12 = 0
x² - 6x + 2x - 12 = 0
x(x-6) +2(x-6) = 0
(x+2)(x-6) = 0
This means the roots of the function are x=-2, and x=6 and the graph will cross x axis at these two points. From the given graphs, the graph B seems to cross these points.
So the answer to this question is option B
This is how I would solve it:
1st # = x 4(x+1)=3x+18
2nd # = x+1 4x+4=3x+18
4x=3x+14
x=14
To check: 15x4=60; 60-42=18. <u>1st # = 14; 2nd # = 15.</u>
Answer:
1. Exponent
2. Multiplication
3. Subtraction
4. Square root
5. Addition
6. Division?
<em>Note: I am not very sure about my answer because of two things. 1. The proper order for operating is PEDMAS (Parentheses, Exponent, Multiplication, division, addition, and subtraction). There is no Square root in that operation so I will consider it in the middle. 2. There is no division operation in this problem.</em>
