Explain how to find the x-intercept of the graph of y=-8x-12.

1 answer:

8 0

The x-intercept is when y=0, so we plug that in our equation,
$0=-8x-12$ . +12 on both sides to get $12=-8x$ . Divide by -8 to get $x=-1.5$

barxatty [35]

Answer:

108 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the points (0.5, 135) and (2,81)

Diatnce between two points :

D = √(x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²

X1 = 0.5 ; y1 = 135 ; x2 = 2 ; y2 = 81

D = √(2^2 - 0.5^2) + (81^2 - 135^2)

D = √(4 - 0.25) + (6561 - 18225)

D = √3.75 −11664

D = 107.98263

D = 108 miles

The average number of traffic tickets issued in a city on any given day

Anton [14]

Answer:

The most tickets were written on Saturday .On Saturday 325 tickets were issued

Step-by-step explanation:

The average number of traffic tickets issued in a city on any given day Sunday-Saturday can be approximated by

$T(x) = -6x^2 + 84x + 37$

Where x represents the number of days after Sunday

T(x) represents the number of traffic tickets issued.

Sunday = x=0

Monday = x=1

Tuesday = x=2

Wednesday = x=3

Thursday = x =4

Friday = x=5

Saturday = x=6

Substitute x= 0

$T(x) = -6x^2 + 84x + 37\\T(x) = -6(0)^2 + 84(0) + 37\\T(x)=37$

On Sunday 37 tickets were issued

Substitute x= 1

$T(x) = -6x^2 + 84x + 37\\T(x) = -6(1)^2 + 84(1) + 37\\T(x)=115$

On Monday 115 tickets were issued

Substitute x= 2

$T(x) = -6x^2 + 84x + 37\\T(x) = -6(2)^2 + 84(2) + 37\\T(x)=181$

On Tuesday 181 tickets were issued

Substitute x= 3

$T(x) = -6x^2 + 84x + 37\\T(x) = -6(3)^2 + 84(3) + 37\\T(x)=235$

On Wednesday 235 tickets were issued

Substitute x= 4

$T(x) = -6x^2 + 84x + 37\\T(x) = -6(4)^2 + 84(4) + 37\\T(x)=277$

On Thursday 277 tickets were issued

Substitute x= 5

$T(x) = -6x^2 + 84x + 37\\T(x) = -6(5)^2 + 84(5) + 37\\T(x)=307$

On Friday 307 tickets were issued

Substitute x= 6

$T(x) = -6x^2 + 84x + 37\\T(x) = -6(6)^2 + 84(6) + 37\\T(x)=325$

On Saturday 325 tickets were issued

Hence the most tickets were written on Saturday .On Saturday 325 tickets were issued
