Determine the x-intercept(s) of the rational function: f(x) = (x ^ 2 - 16)/(x ^ 2 - 2x - 3)

Mathematics
1 answer:
elena55 [62]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

(-4,0) and (4,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

The x-intercepts occur for values of x where f(x) = 0.

f(x) = 0 when the nominator (x^{2}  - 16) = 0.

x^{2} -16 is a difference of squares,
so you can factor it as (x + 4)(x – 4)

When x = –4 or x = 4, the nominator is 0, and f(x) = 0

What's the volume of this rectangular prism?
Snowcat [4.5K]

1. Find the length, width, and height of the rectangular prism.
2. Multiply the length, width, and height.
3. Write the answer in cubic units. For example: 60 inches3.

The length is the longest side of the flat surface of the rectangle on the top or bottom of the rectangular prism.

Ex: Length = 5 in.

<span>The width is the shorter side of the flat surface of the rectangle on the top or bottom of the rectangular prism. <span>Ex: Width = 4 in.The height is the part of the rectangular prism that rises up. Imagine that the height is what stretches up a flat rectangle until it becomes a three-dimensional shape. <span>Ex: Height = 3 in.You can multiply them in any order to get the same different result. The formula for finding the volume of a rectangular prism is the following: Volume = Length * Height * Width, or V = L * H * W. <span>Ex: V = 5 in. * 4 in. * 3 in. = 60 in.Since you're calculating volume, you're working in a three-dimensional space. Just take your answer and state it in cubic units. Whether you're working in feet, inches, or centimeters, you should state your answer in cubic units. <span>60 will become 60 in3.</span></span></span></span><span><span><span><span>

What is the solution of the system? Use substitution.
nekit [7.7K]
Substituting y=6x+2 into equation 3y - 18x =12 looks like:

3(6x + 2) - 18x = 12
18x + 6 - 18x = 12  distributive property left side
6 = 12  simplifying the left side

We now see a contradiction:   6 does not equal 12  What this tells us is that there is no solutions to this equation.  So choice 'C' ...

Aloiza [94]

First, find out how much ribbon there is.

3 x 12 = 36

Now, see how many times you can divde that by 8.

36 can only be divided by 8 four times, and there would be 4 inches of ribbon left.

So, you would be able to make 4 bows, with 4 inches of ribbon remaining.
