x intercept = where the function crosses the x axis (x,0)

y intercept = where the function crosses the y-axis (0,y)

A. y=7/2x-2

x intercept , replace y by 0 and solve for x:

0 =7/2x-2

2= 7/2 x

2 / (7/2) = x

x= 4/7

y-intercept, replace x by 0 and solve for y

y= 7/2x-2

y= 7/2 (0) -2

y=-2

B.

x-intercept:

x=-3

y-intercept

0=-3

It doesn't have a y-intercept.

An urn contains 5 red balls and 2 green balls. Two balls are drawn one after the other. What is the probability that the second
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

<em>The probability that the second ball is red is 71%</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Probabilities</u>

We know there are 5 red balls and 2 green balls. Let's analyze what can happen when two balls are drawn in sequence (no reposition).

The first ball can be red (R) or green (G). The probability that it's red is computed by

\displaystyle P(R)=\frac{5}{7}

The probability is's green is computed by

\displaystyle P(G)=\frac{2}{7}

If we have drawn a red ball, there are only 4 of them out of 6 in the urn, so the probability to draw a second red ball is

\displaystyle P(RR)=\frac{5}{7}\cdot \frac{4}{6}=\frac{10}{21}

If we have drawn a green ball, there are still 5 red balls out of 6 in the urn, so the probability to draw a red ball now is

\displaystyle P(GR)=\frac{2}{7}\cdot \frac{5}{6}=\frac{5}{21}

The total probability of the second ball being red is

\displaystyle P(XR)=\frac{10}{21}+\frac{5}{21}=\frac{5}{7}=0.71

The probability that the second ball is red is 71%

Madison has set up a lemonade stand outside her house and sells small cups and large cups of lemonade. Each small cup holds 12 o
Troyanec [42]

Answer:

12x+22(y+10)=1240, y=x

small cups=30

large cups=40

Step-by-step explanation:

let x be the number of small cups and y the number of large cups.

-Given that 10 more cups than small cups of lemonade were sold:

12x+22(y+10)=1240

#Before the 10 more were sold, the number of x and y sold were equal>

x=y\\\\\therefore 12x+22(x+10)=1240\\\\12x+22x+220=1240\\\\34x=1240-220\\\\34x=1020\\\\x=30

The number of small cups sold was 30

#Since, the number of large cups was 10 more, y=x+10=30+10=40

Can someone please help ASAP
White raven [17]

Answer: 36

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply -6 by itself six times, then divide 1 by -6 four times. Multiply the products. Then multiply -6 by itself one more time and you will get 36.

The top question is 1/4. There seems to be a small multiplaction symbol next to the fractions, I'm ignoring that. To get 1/4, I multiplied 2 by itself six times because of the exponent, to get 64. I did the same with the bottom, and recieved 256. 64/256 is 1/4.

Graph the function and analyze it for domain, range, continuity, increasing or decreaseing behavior, symmetry, boundedness, extr
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

f(x) = 3 \cdot 0.2^x

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 3 \cdot 0.2^x


Domain of f: "What values of x can we plug into this equation?" This makes sense for all real numbers so the domain is \mathbb{R}

Range of f: "What values of f(x) can we get out of the function?" From the graph we see we can get any real number greater than 0 out of the function by choosing a suitable x-value in the domain. The range is therefore (0, \infty).

Continuity: Since the graph is one, unbroken curve (i.e. a curve that can be drawn in one movement without taking your pen off the paper). We see that "roughly speaking" the function is continuous.

Increasing or decreasing behaviour: For all x in the domain, as x increases, f(x) decreases. This means the function exhibits decreasing behaviour.

Symmetry: It is clear to see the graph of f(x) has no symmetry.

Boundedness: Looking at the graph we see it is unbounded above as when we choose negative values, the graph of f(x) explodes upwards exponentially. Choose a value of x, plug it in, next choose (x-1), plug this in and we observe f(x-1) > f(x) for all x in the domain.

The function is however bounded below by 0: no value of x in the domain exists which satisfies f(x) < 0.

Extrema: As far as I can tell, there are no turning points on the curve. (Is this what you mean by extrema?)

Asymptotes: Contrary to the curve's appearance, there are no vertical asymtotes for this curve. The negative-x portion of the curve is just growing so quickly it appears to look like an asymptote. There is a value of f(x) for all x<0. There is however a horizontal asymtote: y=0.

End behaviour: As x \rightarrow \infty, f(x) \rightarrow 0. As x \rightarrow -\infty, f(x) \rightarrow +\infty
