Answer:

An open circle at the end of an interval means that the end point is not included in the interval, i.e. strictly less than or strictly greater than. A closed circle means the end point is included (equal to).

Open circles are used for numbers that are less than or greater than (< or >). Closed circles are used for numbers that are less than or equal to and greater than or equal to (≤ or ≥).

Which situation could be represented by the graph?

Ymorist [56]

The correct option which resembles with the given graph is $\fbox{\begin\\\ optionA and optionC\\\end{minispace}}$ .

Further explanation:

From the given graph the it is observed that the interval is $[8,11)$ which is a half open interval or it can be said that it is a half closed interval.

A half closed or a half open interval is an interval in which one end point of the interval is included but the other point is not included.

For example:

In an interval of the form $[a,b)$ the point $a$ is included in the set but the point $b$ is not included in the set.

Similarly, in the interval $[8,11)$ the point $8$ is included in the set but the point $11$ is not included in the set.

In order to determine the correct option which resembles with given graph form interval for each option.

Option A:

As per the statement in option A the age of the student must be at least $8$ years and not more than $11$ years that is the age of the student is either $8$ years or greater than $8$ years and less than $11$ years.

As per the above statement the interval formed is $\fbox{\begin\\\ [8,11)\\\end{minispace}}$ in which $8$ is included in the set and $11$ is not included which means it is a half closed or half opoen interval.

Therefore, $\fbox{\begin\\\ optionA\\\end{minispace}}$ is a correct option.

Option B:

As per the statement in option B the amount of money the babysitter can earn is between $\$8$ and $\$11$ per hour.

As per the above statement the interval formed is $\fbox{\begin\\\ (8,11)\\\end{minispace}}$ in which both of the end points are not included in the set which means that it is an open interval.

Therefore, $\fbox{\begin\\\ optionB\\\end{minispace}}$ is an incorrect option.

Option C:

As per the statement in option C the time required to complete a program in college cannot be less than $8$ hours and the time must be less than $11$ hours.

From the above statement it is concluded that the time required can be $8$ hours or more than $8$ hours but it has to be less than $11$ hours.

So, as per the above the statement the interval formed is $\fbox{\begin\\\ [8,11)\\\end{minispace}}$ .

Therefore, $\fbox{\begin\\\ optionC\\\end{minispace}}$ is a correct option.

Option D:

As per the statement in option D the age of the dogs is either $8$ years old or below $8$ years and age of the dog must be greater than $11$ tears.

As per the above statement the interval formed is $\fbox{\begin\\\ (-\infty,8) \bigcup(11,\infty)\\\end{minispace}}$ .

Therefore, the $\fbox{\begin\\\ optionD\\\end{minispace}}$ is an incorrect option.

So, $\fbox{\begin\\\ optionA and optionC\\\end{minispace}}$ are the correct options which resembles with the given graph.

Solve the equation x^2 - 4x + 6 = 9 by completing the square.

tatuchka [14]

Hello!

x² - 4x + 6 = 9 <=>

<=> x² - 4x + 6 - 9 = 0 <=>

<=> x² - 4x - 3 = 0 <=>

<=> x = -(-4)±√(-4)²-4×1×(-3)/2×1 <=>

<=> x = 4±√16+12/2 <=>

<=> x = 4±√28/2 <=>

<=> x = 4±2√7/2 =>

=> x = 4+2√7/2 and x = 4-2√7/2 =>

=> x = 2+√7 and x = 2-√7

The equation has two solutions.

Good luck! :)

Find the slope and y-intercept of the following equation: Y = ¾ x - ½

Alina [70]

Answers:

Slope = 3/4

y intercept = -1/2

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

Explanation:

The form y = mx+b is known as slope intercept form

m is the slope and b is the y intercept

Comparing y = (3/4)x - 1/2 to y = mx+b, we see that

m = 3/4

b = -1/2
