Violent Crimes The function V(t) = 5.062 - 87.3t + 1761.1
models the number V (in thousands) of violent crimes com-
mitted in the United States t years after 1995, based on data
obtained from the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Sot = 0
represents 1995,
= 1 represents 1996, and so on.
(a) Determine the year in which the fewest violent crimes
were committed.
(b) Approximately how many violent crimes were commit-
ted during this year?
(c) Using a graphing utility, graph V = V(t). Were the num-
ber of violent crimes increasing or decreasing during the
years 1995 to 2003?

because linear equations are a lot simpler than quadratics equations, and linear equations formula is a lot easier to memorize. that's why i think they're harder.

set each factor equal to 0

4x-3 = 0

2x-1 = 0

solve for x.

4x-3=0

4x=3

x= 3/4

solve for x. 

2x-1= 0

2x= 1

x= 1/2

eventually after a few more steps, your answer should be 1/2 is less than or equal to x and 3/4 is greater than or equal to x

a - base

b - exponent

so,

1. x> -5

2. x< 8

step-by-step explanation:

1. 2x> -10

divide by 2 from both sides of equation.

2x/2> -10/2

simplify, to find the answer.

-10/2=-5

x> -5 is the correct answer.

2. 3x< 24

divide by 3 from both sides of equation.

3x/3< 24/3

simplify, to find the answer.

24/3=8

x< 8 is the correct answer.

i hope this you, and have a wonderful day!
