Check the picture below.
based on the equation, if we set y = 0, we'd end up with 0 = 0.5(x-3)(x-k).
and that will give us two x-intercepts, at x = 3 and x = k.
since the triangle is made by the x-intercepts and y-intercepts, then the parabola most likely has another x-intercept on the negative side of the x-axis, as you see in the picture, so chances are "k" is a negative value.
now, notice the picture, those intercepts make a triangle with a base = 3 + k, and height = y, where "y" is on the negative side.
let's find the y-intercept by setting x = 0 now,

6m+4 = 8m
8m-6m = 4
2m = 4
m = 2
if you are asking for 4m, then it would be 4(2) = 8
Answer:
Lets take all factors into consideration first
The door is a rectangle and the area of a rectangle is length times width
Let the width be w
Let the length be l
Equation length × breadth = area
(w+48)w = 3024
w^2 + 48w = 3024
w^2 + 48w - 3024 = 0
w^2 + 84w - 36w - 3024 = 0
w(w + 84) -36 ( w + 84) = 0
(w + 84) (w - 36) = 0
w + 84 = 0 AND w - 36 =0
w = -84 and w = 36
Since width cannot be negative, the right answer is 36
How did I get 84 and 36? Well, I had to factorize 3024 and since 84 times 36 is 3024 and 84 minus 36 is 48, I chose them.
Answer:
14.125
Step-by-step explanation:
You combine the two equations and get
8x - 23
and since they're in a 90 degree angle you do
8x - 23 = 90
add 23 to both sides
8x =113
divide 113 by 8 and you get 14.125 and if you plug it in for both x's you get 24.625 + 65.375 you get an even 90
Costs would be nine dollars for the lemons and four dollars for the sugar ($-13.00). You end up losing only fifty cents throughout, so you would have had to sell (.5×25=12.50) 25 cups to pay for all but fifty cents.
Answer is 25 cups
