Answer:
Nolan correctly identified the square numbers before and after 18.
The square roots of them are 4 and 5.
Clearly, square root of 18 should lie between 4 and 5 only.
He, then carefully squared 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 etc. and identified that 4.3 squared is nearer to 18.
Since, Nolan is finding estimated square root, his steps are cool and he didn't make any error.
Note that
1.
The x-intercepts are at points x=-3, x=0, x=2. The graph should be increasing - decreasing - increasing.
2.

The x-intercepts are at points x=-2, x=0, x=3. The graph should be increasing - decreasing - increasing.
3.

The x-intercepts are at points x=-3, x=0, x=2. The graph should be decreasing - increasing - decreasing.
4.

The x-intercepts are at points x=-2, x=0, x=3. The graph should be decreasing - increasing - decreasing.
From the diagram you can see that x-intercepts are at points x=-3, x=0, x=2 and the graph is decreasing-increasing-decreasing.
Answer: correct choice is 3.
Well, as you can see from the rectangle RT and SW should have equal lengths. So to find the value of x, we need to do.....
4x + 10 = 5x - 20
-x + 10 = -20 (Subtraction property of equality)
-x = -30 (Subtraction property of equality)
x = 30 (Division property of equality)
To check our work:
4(30)+10 = 130
5(30)-20 = 130
So, the value of x is 30!
18b - 24c because you multiply the outside with everything inside
