<h3>Answer: Choice B is correct</h3>

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

Explanation:

Use a graphing tool like GeoGebra, Desmos, or your graphing calculator to plot each expression given as a separate y equation. Four parabolas should result.

The x intercept is the same as the root or zero of a function.

You should find that only choice B has a root thats larger than 4. That specific root being x = 7.

----------------------------

A non-graphing approach:

You can use the quadratic formula or the factoring method to find the roots.

For choice A, it factors to (x+5)(x+6) = 0. The roots are x = -5 and x = -6 which aren't greater than 4. So we cross choice A off the list. Choices C and D are similar stories.

On the other hand, choice B factors to (x-7)(x+2) = 0 and it has roots of x = 7  and x = -2. This is another way to see why choice B is the answer.

Here are the steps for the quadratic formula for choice B

x = \frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\\\x = \frac{-(-5)\pm\sqrt{(-5)^2-4(1)(-14)}}{2(1)}\\\\x = \frac{5\pm\sqrt{81}}{2}\\\\x = \frac{5\pm9}{2}\\\\x = \frac{5+9}{2} \ \text{ or } \ x = \frac{5-9}{2}\\\\x = \frac{14}{2} \ \text{ or } \ x = \frac{-4}{2}\\\\x = 7 \ \text{ or } \ x = -2\\\\

The quadratic formula is handy in case factoring is either not possible, or guess-and-check is too lengthy of a process. As you can probably tell, we could use the quadratic formula's results to help construct the factored form.

Who would have a difficult time responding to this survey question? Select all that apply.
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

18 and 65

Step-by-step explanation:

under 18 would be 17 and under, therefore not including 18 year olds. obviously they are not 19 yet either, so they wouldn't fall into either category, therefore they may be unsure of what to answer.

same with 65 year olds; they are more than 64 year old, but not yet /over/ 65, therefore they would not fit into either category either.
