Nice and simple. PEMDAS. Parentheses, exponents, multiple, division, addiction, subtraction.
The first thing you do is solve the numbers in the parenthesis, which would turn to
(312) + (714) = 1026
The slope is 3
the y intercept is -4
Y=foot
x=foram
A. easy, plug 17 for x and evaluage for y
y=0.860(17)+3.302
y=14.62+3.302
y=17.922 inches
B. rate of change is slope
y=mx+b
m=slope
so
rate or change is 0.860 inches per legnth of forarm
C. what data
D. it is a function
since it is 1st degree (no exponents greater than 1 on the placeholder), and it is not a vertical line
it is a function
83,000 tip for rounding: 5 or more let it soar (raise), 4 or less let it rest (round down)
