Answer:
D) -3
Step-by-step explanation:
we are given that f(x) = k has 3 real solutions.
Recall that graphically, this simply means that if we draw a horizontal line y = k, the line will intersect the graph as 3 distinct locations.
Looking at the graph below (see attached picture for clarity), we can see that the only place where any horizontal line y = k will intersect the graph at 3 distinct points is between the blue lines pictured. (i.e approximately between y = -4 and y = -2.5)
If we look at all the choices, the only value for k that falls between the blue lines is -3 (answer D). All the other values for y fall out outside the blue lines and hence do not satisfy the condition of having 3 real solutions

The displacement is 18.03 steps, and the direction is 47.25°
<h3>How to get the displacement?</h3>
We know that displacement is the difference between the final position and the initial position.
We assume the initial position (0, 0). Let's define the positive x-axis as the east and the positive y-axis as the north.
First, the student moves 8 steps east, so she is at:
(0 + 8, 0)
Then she moves 6 steps northeast, so the new position is:
(6*cos(45°) + 8, 6*cos(45°))
Finally, she moves 9 steps due north, so we have:
(6*cos(45°) + 8, 6*cos(45°) + 9)
Then the final position is:
(12.24, 13.24)
So the displacement is:
D = (12.24, 13.24) - (0, 0) = (12.24, 13.24)
The magnitude of the displacement is:
So the magnitude is 18.03 steps.
And the direction is given by the arctangent of the quotient between the y-component and the x-component:
