Explain what is meant by intercepts with the axes give examples of y and x intercepts

Mathematics
1 answer:
alisha [4.7K]1 year ago

Intercepts with the axes are where your line touches the x or y axis. An example is a straight line, say, y=4x+2. In this case, the y-intercept is 2 because the line touches the y-axis at (0, 2). With y=mx+b format, the y-intercept is b. To find the x-intercept of an equation in y=mx+b format, set y to zero and solve for x. In a parabola, the x-intercepts would be the roots. An example of this is x^2 - 5x + 4 = 0. The roots here are (4,0) and (1,0). Hopefully this helped.

A rectangle has vertices a(1,2), B(1,7), c(4,7), d(4,2). what is the perimiter of the rectangle
aliina [53]

Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

You see, if you were to plot these points, (1, 2) and (1, 7) would be 5 points away from each other. If you were to plot the points (4, 2) and (4, 7) those points would also be 5 points away from each other. Now, (1, 2) and (4, 2) are 3 points apart as well as (1, 7) and (4, 7). Therefore, 5 + 5 = 10, 3 + 3 = 6, and finally, 10 + 6 = 16!

Total whatever

In this case your whatever is the hits. according to the question, if i said he had 40 hits in 40, that's a 100percent. So... Your whatever is 16, total whatever is 40

16

- - - - - - x 100

Simplify the expression, only odds 9-17
Elodia [21]

All exercises involve the same concept, so I'll show you how to do the first, then you can apply the exact same logic to all the others.

The first thing you need to know is that, when a certain quantity multiplies a parenthesis, you can distribute that number to every element in the parenthesis. This means that

a(b+c) = ab+ac

So, a is multiplying the parenthesis involving b and c, and we distributed it: a multiplies both  b and c in the final result.

Secondly, you have to know how to recognize like terms, because they are the only terms you can sum. Two terms can be summed if they have the same literal expression. So, for example, you cannot sum 3x+2y, and neither 5x^2-4x exponents count.

But you can su, for example,

5x-3x = (5-3)x = 2x

or

23xy^2z^6 - 17xy^2z^6 = 6xy^2z^6

So, take for example exercise 9:

1.2(7x-5y) - (10y-4.3x)

We distribute the 1.2 through the first parenthesis:

1.2(7x-5y) = 1.2 \cdot 7x - 1.2 \cdot 5y = 8.4x-6y

And you can distribute the negative sign through the second parenthesis (it counts as a -1 to distribute):

- (10y-4.3x) = -10y+4.3x

So, the expression becomes

8.4x-6y-10y+4.3x

Now sum like terms:

(8.4+4.3)x + (-6-10)y = 12.7x - 16y

Find the length of the hypotenuse of a triangle if one of its legs is 11 cm long and its perimeter is 132 cm.
rodikova [14]

Answer:

1.)

132 cm - 11 cm = 121 cm

So let the hypotenuse be x and the other leg be (121 - x).

11^2 + (121 - x)^2 = x^2

121 + 121^2 - 121(2)x = 0

x = 1/2 + 121/2 = 61 cm

Step-by-step explanation: not sure if this is right or not
