The graph below shows two functions: function f of x is a straight line which joins the ordered pairs negative 3.5, 15 and 4, 0. function g of x is a curved line which joins the ordered pairs negative 1.7, 11.5 and 4, 0 based on the graph, what are the approximate solutions to the equation −2x + 8 = (0.25)x?

a. 8 and 4
b. 1 and 4
c. -1.7 and 4
d. 1.7 and -4

The answer is option C.

Step-by-step explanation:

when we plot the graph of the function f and function g we obtain that the two graphs meet at two points: (-1.7,12) and (4,0).

so the approximate solution of the equation -2 x+8=(0.25) x are the x-coordinates of the intersecting points which is  -1.7 and 4.

Hence the correct option is option C.

-1.7 and 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Functions:

Now to find the the approximate solution we need to find the intersection point of these graph using desmos

Refer the attached figure

So, the intersection points are:

(-1.7,11.57) and (3.998,0.004).

So,  the approximate solutions to the equation is -1.7 and 4

Hence Option C is correct

there are no short passages to look at

not enough information

step-by-step explanation:

we cannot know this, because the other students could have handed out 10 flyers, or they could have handed out 100. one way, the mean would go up, and another way, the mean would go down.
