OK back to our trusty TI-84.  Let’s enter all 4 and find the odd man out!
Not only is one different than the others but it is the only one that LOST money.
If you put money into a savings account it should grow!!!
That’s it — 2 more points!!

Put j(x) into Y1 and try the other equations in Y2 then compare the Y1 and Y2 columns
Below is answers 1 and 2 which have the same equation, neither is a match!

Now we will try the equation for (3) and (4), see below:

So now we can see the match!
However, at x = -6, the y value is 115 and we are looking for -29, so it cannot be -6

At x = 6 below, you can see the y value is -29.
Also check out the symmetry of the y values and how the values are centered around (6,-29): this is what makes it the vertex or turning point.

We could also use the vertex form of a parabola but it  has a tricky negative sign issue which these answer choices prey upon.
Using the graph feature of the  TI-84 is also an option but since the normal viewing window is +/-10,  -29 would be outside that window.

There are 50 people (30 + 12 + 8)  in the 21-40 age group and 30 of them are for the candidate.
So that is 30 out of 50 or 30 divided by 50:
30/50 = x/100 notice how you can make equivalent fractions? (rather than
multiply). 

The first term is 4 : add 3 to find each successive term
so Term 2 = 7
Term 3 = 10 and so on
2 more points!!

OMG this is 2 points for everyone!!  A giveaway!! Get your TI-84 ready!!!!
Put the equation into Y= and look for the zeros on the table and the graph.
For what x values is y = 0?  Look at the table and the graph to verify your answer!!
