OpenStudy (studytheworld):

The graph: http://prntscr.com/cqmfrp

OpenStudy (studytheworld):

My options: http://prntscr.com/cqmfuz

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

Which side of the break is the line on? ">4" or <4"? Where is the big dot? The line of the parabola?

OpenStudy (triciaal):

need to focus on x <4 x = 4 and x >4

OpenStudy (studytheworld):

okay

OpenStudy (triciaal):

open circle means does not include closed circle means include that boundary

OpenStudy (studytheworld):

I see

OpenStudy (studytheworld):

So what do I do

OpenStudy (studytheworld):

With that

OpenStudy (triciaal):

read the graph

OpenStudy (studytheworld):

I see it

OpenStudy (triciaal):

what does it say?

OpenStudy (studytheworld):

But I don't really see understand it

OpenStudy (triciaal):

which is the equation of the parabola? does it include the boundary 4 ? what is the equation of the line? does it include the boundary 4? which option matches your result?

OpenStudy (studytheworld):

I don't really understand anything you're asking me at all or this graph

OpenStudy (triciaal):

first you have to be positive and open what do you see when you look at the graph do you see the parabola and the line? do you see when x = 4 there are "changes" when x = 4 the parabola has an open circle so do you include or exclude 4? when x = 4 the line has a closed circle do you include or exclude 4 from the domain?

OpenStudy (studytheworld):

exclude for parabala, include for line?

OpenStudy (triciaal):

great now with the correct notation read your options and identify which is correct

OpenStudy (studytheworld):

D?

OpenStudy (studytheworld):

Or do I have it backwards, and it is A?

OpenStudy (triciaal):

no look again for the parabola do not include 4 for the line include 4

OpenStudy (studytheworld):

A?

OpenStudy (triciaal):

don't guess!! look at 4 consider include or exclude

OpenStudy (triciaal):

do you agree parabola less than 4 (do not include 4) line 4 and more (include 4)

OpenStudy (studytheworld):

I think I kind of get it. Would that make it B?

OpenStudy (triciaal):

yes!!

OpenStudy (studytheworld):

Thank you for your help

OpenStudy (triciaal):

no problem just be open and take the time to read keep practicing and it becomes very easy

OpenStudy (triciaal):

all the best with your studies
