Option A. $1\frac{1}{4}$ inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The given line plot shows the heights of flower in a garden.

In each plot the differences of the heights is of 1/4 inches.

As first plotted height is = $6\frac{1}{2}$ inches

next plotted height will be = $6\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{4}$

= $\frac{13}{2}+\frac{1}{4}$

= $\frac{26+1}{4}$

= $\frac{27}{4}=6\frac{3}{4}$ inches

and next plotted height is given = 7 inches

$\frac{1}{4}$ inches added to last plotted height = $6\frac{3}{4}+\frac{1}{4}$

= $\frac{27}{4}+\frac{1}{4}$

= $\frac{28}{4}$ = 7 inches

similarly last plotted height would be = $7\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{4}$

= $\frac{15}{2}+ \frac{1}{4}$

= $\frac{30+1}{4}$

= $\frac{31}{4}$

= $7\frac{3}{4}$ inches

Therefore, the height of tallest flower is $7\frac{3}{4}$ inches and the height of the shortest flower is $6\frac{1}{2}$ inches.

The difference of the heights = $7\frac{3}{4} -6\frac{1}{2}$

= $\frac{31}{4}-\frac{13}{2}$

= $\frac{31-26}{4}$

= $\frac{5}{4}$

= $1\frac{1}{4}$ inches

Option A. $1\frac{1}{4}$ inches is the answer.

Answer from: Quest

the correct answer is

c. 4

step-by-step explanation:

the given polynomial is

$-4x^4$

the degree of the polynomial is the highest exponent which is 4.

the -4 is called the leading coefficient.

this polynomial has only one term so it is a monomial.

the correct answer is option c.

Answer from: Quest

$x=-2$ or $x=-5$

step-by-step explanation:

we need to solve for 'x' the following equation: $\sqrt{(x+6)} - 4 = x$

we have that:

$\sqrt{(x+6)} - 4 = x$ ⇒ $(x+6) = (x+4)^{2}$

⇒ $x+6 = x^{2} + 8x + 16$ ⇒ $x^{2} + 7x + 10 = 0$

factorizing, we get that:

$x^{2} + 7x + 10 = 0$ ⇒ $(x+2)(x+5)=0$

then, the solutions are: $x=-2$ or $x=-5$

nothing extraneous has been found!
