Here we go, MENTAL NOTE: Any Line with Positive Slope goes through sectors I and III. And any Line with Negative Slope goes through sectors II and IV. - This is a shortcut here, and you should always remember these crucial bullet points. Hence, from 1, we get slope of K is negative, i.e. -1/6 thus k...

Here we go, It is straightforward, like this: Since from your drawing we get that if x = -4, y = 0, hence the answer must be either (1) equation or (3) equation, but as we see the first one is not parabola at all, just straight line, hence it is (3) equation the correct answer. More importantly, acc...

Here we go, Since the question stem asks for the largest side that our imaginary square could have, the diagonal of the square at issue must be the diameter of the circle set forth in the problem. Hence, according to the Pythagorean proposition we got a^2+a^2 = d^2, here a - is side of our square an...

Here we go, it is not that tough as long as you remember what the average speed is, to this end: Average Speed = Total Distance / Total Time Spent Here in our case we have: From A to B; B to A and A to B again: A-->>>>>> - B Average speed = D/t1 = X A - <<<<<---B Average speed = D/t2 = Y A---->>>>> ...

Here we go, as per the gist of absolute value, i.e. module of number or |y|<=1 means following: y<=1 and y>=-1 and this means that y belongs to the segment [-1;1], hence, y could be one of infinite numbers from the segment set forth above. If, y is an integer so it could be either -1, 0 or 1. In gen...
