Answer:
see below
Step-by-step explanation:
Since RT bisects QRS
1/2 QRS = TRS
1/2 ( 9x+214) = -9x+53
Multiply each side by 2
9x +214 = -18x+ 106
Add 18x from each side
9x +214+18x = 106
27x +214 = 106
Subtract 214 from each side
27x = 106-214
27x =-108
Divide by 27
27x/27 = -108/27
x = -4
TRS = -9x+53
=-9 *-4 +53
= 36+ 53
=89
In both cases you may well benefit from graphing the functions.
Do you recognize f(x) = (x + 1)^2 - 1 as a quadratic function, whose graph is that of a parabola that opens up? By comparing this to y = a(x-h)^2 + k, we see that a=1, h= -1 and k = -1. The vertex is at (h,k), which here is the point (-1, -1). This is the minimum value of the function. Thus, the range of this function is [-1, infinity).
Now for the function f(x) = 7x - 11: This is a linear function whose graph is (surprise!) a straight line. When x increases, y increases, without limits to either. Similarly, when x decreases, y decreases.
Thus the range includes all real numbers: (-infinity, infinity).

For future references, I'd say use a calculator for multiplication or calculate on a piece of paper. :)
