Y=-3x^2-6x+24

The x-intercept is the point at which the function intersects the x-axis.
For any point on the x-axis, y = 0. Thus we can plug in 0 for y and solve for x.

y=-3x^2-6x+24 \\ 0=-3x^2-6x+24

Let's split the middle on this quadratic.
To do this we need to find two numbers that add to equal -6 and multiply to equal -72. (-3 times 24)
Consider ways to multiply to get 72.
72 = 36 ×2...that's not going to work.
72 = 24 × 3
72 = 18 × 4
72 = 12 × 6...and 12 minus 6 is 6!
Let's add our signs; our numbers are -12 and 6.
Now, split the middle and factor.

0=-3x^2-12x+6x+24\\0=-3x(x+4)+6(x+4)\\0=(-3x+6)(x+4)

Now you should know that anything multiplied by zero is zero.
So any value that makes one of those factors equal zero is an x-intercept.
Solve each of these equations.

-3x+6 = 0
-3x = -6
x = 2

x+4 = 0
x = -4

Oh, and since all parabolas (graphs of quadratics) are symmetrical, our axis of symmetry will be the average between the two, which is x=-1.

Now for our y-intercepts. For any points on the y-axis, x=0, so if we plug in 0 for x and solve for y we'll get our y-intercept.

y = -3×0² - 6×0 + 24
y = 0 - 0 + 24
y = 24

What about our vertex? Well, we know it's going to line up with the axis of symmetry, so let's just plug in -1 for x.

y = -3×-1² - 6×-1 + 24
y = -3×1 -6×-1 + 24
y = -3 + 6 + 24
y = 27

Thus the vertex is (-1, 27)

The y value is not going to exceed 27, as this is a decreasing quadratic, (we already know y=24 is a possibilty) and this equation goes downwards infinitely, so our range is (-∞, 27)

As for x, well, it's sort of the input for our equation, meaning it can be whatever we want it to be. Thus the domain is (-∞, ∞)

How do I make a repeated decimal a fraction?
Cerrena [4.2K]
Step 1:

Let x equal the repeating decimal you are trying to convert to a fraction

Step 2:

Examine the repeating decimal to find the repeating digit(s)

Step 3:

Place the repeating digit(s) to the left of the decimal point

Step 4:

Place the repeating digit(s) to the right of the decimal point



5) Subtract the left sides of the two equations.Then, subtract the right sides of the two equations<span>

An integer is three more than another integer. Twice the larger integer is two less
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

The integers are 4 and 7 or -2 and 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can make a system of equations with the description of the two integers.

1. x = y + 3

2. 2x + 2 = y^2

The simplest and the fastest way to solve this system in this case is substitution. You can substitute x for y + 3 in the second equation.

1. x = y + 3

2. 2(y + 3) + 2 = y^2

Now simplify and solve the second one. For convenience, I will just disregard the first equation for now.

2y + 6 + 2 = y^2

y^2 - 2y - 8 = 0

You can factor this equation to solve for y.

(y - 4) (y + 2) = 0

y = 4, y = -2

Now we can substitute the value of y for x in the first equation.

x = 7, x = 1
