Choose all the choices that correctly simplify the expression 2 (3x + 4) Hint: use distributive property

a.6x + 4

b.6x + 8

c.8 + 6x

d.14x

e.4 + 6x

option a.

step-by-step explanation:

if you look closely at the graph, we can notice that the function is not defined at two different points.

if you look at functions b and c, you will notice that both functions are not defined at just one point. the function b is not defined at x= -5/2 and function c is not defined at x=-5. both options are discarded, given that our function should not be defined at two fiferent points.

now, if you look closely at the graph you will notice that the function sketched is not defined at x=5 and x=-2.

answer: c, the green line

step-by-step explanation:

there is no black line, eliminate b.

simple interest implies periodic payments, but the red line shows no payments, eliminate d.

simple interest has equal payments. if paid say every day, the graph is about a straight line (actually a stairstep).

the yellow line is not straight, eliminate a.

check: the green line is straight, answer is c.

simple interest with positive interest rate gives a straight line sloping up to the right. green line:

g(t) = $100 + ($200-$100) ÷ (20 years) × (t years)

= $100 + (4%/year) × ($100)(t years)

incidentally, the yellow line curving upward represents continuously compounded interest

y = $100 × 2^(t years / (14 assuming the yellow line hits $200 at 14 years. 2^0 is 1, so y(0) = $100; 2^(14/14) is 2, so y(14) = $200.
