- - - - - - - - - - - - -
. | 1 2 -2 0
which translates to

with remainder 0. Now by the quadratic formula,

and so
Answer:
A.
Step-by-step explanation:
They are dependent events, indicated by the word 'given'.
Answer:
Exponential
Step-by-step explanation:
By visual inspection the graph generated by the points plotted is an exponential graph as the graph curves upward. The graph is also continous and differs from either a decreasing or increasing Linear graph, which shows a straight best of fit pattern. Hence, the graph most closely represents an exponential graph from visual examination.
We assume all employees are either full-time or part-time.
36 = 24 + 12
If the number of full-time employees is 24 or less, the number of part-time employees must be 12 or more. (Thinking, based on knowledge of sums.)
_____
You can write the inequality in two stages.
- First, write and solve an equation for the number of full-time employees in terms of the number of part-time employees.
- Then apply the given constraint on full-time employees. This gives an inequality you can solve for the number of part-time employees.
Let f and p represent the numbers of full-time and part-time employees, respectively.
... f + p = 36 . . . . . . given
... f = 36 - p . . . . . . . subtract p. This is our expression for f in terms of p.
... f ≤ 24 . . . . . . . . . given
... (36 -p) ≤ 24 . . . . substitute for f. Here's your inequality in p.
... 36 - 24 ≤ p . . . . add p-24
... p ≥ 12 . . . . . . . . the solution to the inequality
