W(x)=x^3 - 5x^2 + 8x - 4 I need the x and y intercepts and the behavior of this equation.

1 answer:

4 0

X intercept is where the line crosses the x axis or where y=0
y intercept is where the line crosses the y axis or where x=0

the equation is 3rd degree and the leading coefient is positive so it goes from bottom left to top right, with 2 changes in direction (up to down or down to up)

x intercepts
W(x)=0=x^3-5x^2+8x-4
um, I graphed it and the x intercepts are at x=1 and x=2

y intercept is where x=0
W(0)=0^3-5(0)+8(0)-4=-4
the y intercept is y=-4

Which of the following sets of lengths could not be the side lengths of a triangle?

docker41 [41]

To find out if the three side lengths can create a triangle, the three smaller lengths must be greater than the longer length.

$\bf~Option~A$

$\sf~3~meters,5~meters,7~meters$

$\sf3+5=8>7$

So this can create a triangle.

$\bf~Option~B$

$\sf1~yard,1.25~yards,1.5~yards$

$\sf1+1.25=2.25>1.5$

So this can create a triangle.

$\bf~Option~C$

$\sf5~inches,10.5~inches,17~inches$

$\boxed{\sf5+10.5=15.5$

So this cannot create a triangle.

$\bf~Option~D$

$\sf15~millimeters,18~millimeters,30~millimeters$

$\sf15+18=33>30$

So this can create a triangle.

Therefore, your answer is Option C.

THERE ARE 3 BAGS OF APPLES WEIGHING A TOTAL OF 22 1/2 POUNDS. TWO OF THE BAGS WEIGH 6 3/8 POUNDS AND 3 1/4 POUNDS. HOW MUCH DOES

Mkey [24]

I wasn't going to click on this one, but the all-caps enthralled me and hypnotized me.

first off, let's change all the mixed fractions to "improper" and proceed from there, keep in mind that if we subtract the two bags' weight from the total, what's leftover is the 3rd bag's weight.

$\bf \stackrel{mixed}{22\frac{1}{2}}\implies \cfrac{22\cdot 2+1}{2}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{45}{2}}
\\\\\\
\stackrel{mixed}{6\frac{3}{8}}\implies \cfrac{6\cdot 8+3}{8}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{51}{8}}
\\\\\\
\stackrel{mixed}{3\frac{1}{4}}\implies \cfrac{3\cdot 4+1}{4}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{13}{4}}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\$

$\bf \stackrel{\textit{sum of the two bags}}{\cfrac{51}{8}+\cfrac{13}{4}}\impliedby \textit{our LCD is 8}\implies \cfrac{(1)51+(2)13}{8}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{51+26}{8}\implies \cfrac{77}{8}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\stackrel{total}{\cfrac{45}{2}}~-~\stackrel{two~bags}{\cfrac{77}{8}}\impliedby \textit{our LCD is again 8}\implies \cfrac{(4)45-(1)77}{8}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{180~~-~~77}{8}\implies \cfrac{103}{8}\implies \stackrel{third~bag}{12\frac{7}{8}}$
