Algebra is Faster And Better Than “Basic” Math
Just as multiplying two by twelve is faster than counting to 24 or adding 2 twelve times, algebra helps us solve problems more quickly and easily than we could otherwise. Algebra also opens up whole new areas of life problems, such as graphing curves that cannot be solved with only foundational math skills.
Answer:
<u>x-intercept</u>
The point at which the curve <u>crosses the x-axis</u>, so when y = 0.
From inspection of the graph, the curve appears to cross the x-axis when x = -4, so the x-intercept is (-4, 0)
<u>y-intercept</u>
The point at which the curve <u>crosses the y-axis</u>, so when x = 0.
From inspection of the graph, the curve appears to cross the y-axis when y = -1, so the y-intercept is (0, -1)
<u>Asymptote</u>
A line which the curve gets <u>infinitely close</u> to, but <u>never touches</u>.
From inspection of the graph, the curve appears to get infinitely close to but never touches the vertical line at x = -5, so the vertical asymptote is x = -5
(Please note: we cannot be sure that there is a horizontal asymptote at y = -2 without knowing the equation of the graph, or seeing a larger portion of the graph).
Answer:
D. 6
Step-by-step explanation:
the similarity theorem:
x/9 = 8/12
12x=8 (9)
12x = 72
x = 72/12
x = 6

F________G_______H_______I
we know that
FI=FG+GH+HI-----> solve for GH
GH=FI-FG-HI
FI=7 units
FG=2 units
HI=1 unit
substitute
GH=7-2-1-----> GH=4 units
the answer is
GH=4 units
