The student council sent its members on four field trips during the school year. The number of buses needed to transport the members on each trip is a function of the number of members who went on each trip. This function consists of only the ordered pairs (52,3), (72, 4), (86,5), and (105,6). What is the range for this situation?

M< 5 = 80 , < 2 = 80, < 6= 100, < 3= 100, < 7= 80, < 4= 80, < 8= 100

First step is to get rid of the square root. remember that a square root is the same as raising to the (1/2) power. see below: multiply exponents per exponent rules to get: remember you subtract exponents from the denominator and add exponents in the numerator so: simplify further: so a is the correct choice. if you don't understand this google exponent rules and it will you understand. look at the image results.
