The y-intercept of the graph of the equation is -18

<h3>What is an intercept?</h3>

An intercept is a point where the tangent to a curve or a straight line touches the x-axis or the y-axis.

Analysis:

y = 6(x-1)(x + 3)

y = 6( $x^{2}$ + 3x -x -3)

y = 6( $x^{2}$ +2x -3)

y = 6 $x^{2}$ +12x -18

The y-intercept of the equation occurs at x = 0

Therefore y = -18.

In conclusion, the y-intercept is -18.

Two urns both contain green balls and red balls. Urn I contains 6 green balls and 4 red balls and Urn II contains 8 green balls

Presumably, whatever is drawn from Urn I is independent of what is drawn from Urn II. This means

$P(\text{red from Urn 1 AND red from Urn 2})=P(\text{red from Urn 1})\cdot P(\text{red from Urn 2})$

We have

$P(\text{red from Urn 1})=\dfrac4{10}=\dfrac25$

$P(\text{red from Urn 1})=\dfrac7{15}$

so the probability of drawing red balls from both urns is $\dfrac25\cdot\dfrac7{15}=\dfrac{14}{75}$

Kim's recipe for fruit punch calls for 3 cups fruit punch syrup to 4 cups of water. Tammy's recipe for fruit punch calls for 5 c

Tammy's recipe makes a sweeter fruit punch. This is because 3/4 (Kim's recipe) equals 18/24 (Tammy's recipe) and 5/6 equals 20/24 and since 20/24 is the bigger ratio, Tammy's recipe will make a sweeter fruit punch. I hope this helps. (:

A researcher investigates whether there is a relationship between hours of sleep and memory for photographs. The researcher assi

ehidna [41]

Answer:

It is the experimental condition.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the experiment given in the question, the amount of sleep is the independent variable and the number of photographs they remember is the dependent variable because it depends on the amount of sleep.

The 8 hours of sleep, which creates the difference in the experiment between the control group and the test group, is the experimental condition.

The experimental condition is the variable that is changed to let the researcher observe the effects on the dependent variable.

I hope this answer helps.

If jammy makes 4 baskets in 1/2 of an hour how much can she make in 5 hours

coldgirl [10]

Answer: 40

Step-by-step explanation: If she made 4 baskets in a half an hour then one hour she would make 8 in one hour and in 2 hours she would make 16 because 8 hours from the first hour and 8 more from the second hour. Because there is 1 hour and in the hour she made 8 if she needs 5 hours just multiply 8 by 5. That would give you 40.
