Let f(x) be defined on the positive real numbers as follows: Start with a number x.
Take the square root of the number and add 3 more than the number you started with.
Square the result and add 2 more than the original number.
Finally, divide the result by 2 more than the square of the original number.

Required:
Write a formula for f(x).

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find the formula for f(x)

Let x be the number

According to question

Now,

Now,

After squaring  we get

Add x+2 to above result then, we get

Then,

Therefore, the formula for f(x) is given by

the answer is d

the answer is in the first quadrant, which make the y-int positive.

since the dots are going down, therefore the correlation is negative

i hope it is right.
