Question

Help please without guessing ?//

Answer 1

The answer is y≥ x²-4x-5

Explanation:

x=a,x=b

where a,b are roots of the equation

a= -1 b=5

x= -1,x=5

x+1=0,x-5=0

(x+1)(x-5)=0

x²-5x+x-5=0

x²-4x-5=0

Answer 2

D. y ≥ x² - 4x - 5

Explanation:

We can observe two characteristics of this graphed inequality:

1. its shading is above it, therefore the inequality sign must be greater than

2. its boundary line is continuous, not dotted, so the inequality sign must include or equal to

From these two observations, we can assert that D. x² - 4x - 5 is the correct answer because it is the only one which has a greater than or equal to sign.

____________

Note:

We can also check that the equation for the inequality is correct by converting it to vertex form by completing the square, then graphing it ourselves:

`y \ge (x-2)^2 - 9`
