Select the two values of x that are roots of this equation. x2 + 2x - 6 = 0
O A. x = -1 + 2-/7
B. X = -1 -2.17
C. x= -1- 7
D. x= -1 + 7

definitely a. the others have almost all data points on one side of the line.

step-by-step explanation:

55.44 inches

step-by-step explanation:

part a. assuming a perfectly linear relationship, we can find the slope from the first two data points.

slope = m = (change in rainfall)/(change in years)

= (61.80 -62.33)/(2005 -2004) = -0.53/1 = -0.53

then the point-slope form of the equation of the line can be written as

y = m(x -h) +k . . . . . m = -0.53, (h, k) = (0, 62.33)

y = -0.53x +62.33 . . . x = years after 2004

part b. in 2017, x = 2017 -2004 = 13. then the predicted rainfall is

y = -0.53·13 +62.33 = 55.44 . . inches

the predicted rainfall in 2017 is 55.44 in.

you should talk someone who owns the website about it. you did not deserve to have all that hard work and time taken away. id watch videos of little puppies to cool you down, and maybe some nacho cheese doritos.

graph #4 (last graph) depict the function   f(x)= -m(x-d)^1/5 i

step-by-step explanation:

we know that

m=slope

but in this function slope is -m that means slope is decreasing and it is decreasing by 1/5 points down the x-axis.

which is shown in graph four

a decreasing slope down x-axis by 1/5 points.

hence 4th graph is the right option for this.
