(x/2)+8=16
isolate x
(x/2)= 8
double both sides
x=16

Y= 32 (x/2)+8=16 x 8 (x/16) =(x/2)
x=16

Find the x- and y- intercepts of the following equation.

Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

The x-intercept is $(4,0)$

The y-intercept is $(0,-3)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose you have a function f:

$f = f(x,y) = 0$

The x-intercept is the value of x when $y = 0$ .

The x-intercept is the value of y when $x = 0$ .

Solution

We have:

$f(x,y) = -3x + 4y = -12$

$-3x + 4y + 12 = 0$

x-intercept

The x-intercept is the value of x when $y = 0$ . So:

$-3x + 4(0) + 12 = 0$

$-3x + 12 = 0$ *(-1)

$3x - 12 = 0$

$3x = 12$

$x = \frac{12}{3}$

$x = 4$

The x-intercept is $(4,0)$

y-intercept

The y-intercept is the value of y when $x = 0$ . So:

$-3(0) + 4y + 12 = 0$

$4y + 12 = 0$

$4y = -12$

$y = \frac{-12}{4}$

$y = -3$

The y-intercept is $(0,-3)$

Determine the equilibrium solutions

We have:

$\frac{dR}{dt} = 0.09R(1 - 0.00025R) - 0.001RW$

$\frac{dW}{dt} = -0.02W + 0.00004RW$

To solve this, we first equate $\frac{dR}{dt}$ and $\frac{dW}{dt}$ to 0.

So, we have:

$0.09R(1 - 0.00025R) - 0.001RW = 0$

$-0.02W + 0.00004RW = 0$

Factor out R in $0.09R(1 - 0.00025R) - 0.001RW = 0$

$R(0.09(1 - 0.00025R) - 0.001W) = 0$

Split

$R = 0$ or $0.09(1 - 0.00025R) - 0.001W = 0$

$R = 0$ or $0.09 - 2.25 * 10^{-5}R - 0.001W = 0$

Factor out W in $-0.02W + 0.00004RW = 0$

$W(-0.02 + 0.00004R) = 0$

Split

$W = 0$ or $-0.02 + 0.00004R = 0$

Solve for R

$-0.02 + 0.00004R = 0$

$0.00004R = 0.02$

Make R the subject

$R = \frac{0.02}{0.00004}$

$R = 500$

When $R = 500$ , we have:

$0.09 - 2.25 * 10^{-5}R - 0.001W = 0$

$0.09 -2.25 * 10^{-5} * 500 - 0.001W = 0$

$0.09 -0.01125 - 0.001W = 0$

$0.07875 - 0.001W = 0$

Collect like terms

$- 0.001W = -0.07875$

Solve for W

$W = \frac{-0.07875}{ - 0.001}$

$W = 78.75$

$W \approx 79$

$(R,W) \to (500,79)$

When $W = 0$ , we have:

$0.09 - 2.25 * 10^{-5}R - 0.001W = 0$

$0.09 - 2.25 * 10^{-5}R - 0.001*0 = 0$

$0.09 - 2.25 * 10^{-5}R = 0$

Collect like terms

$- 2.25 * 10^{-5}R = -0.09$

Solve for R

$R = \frac{-0.09}{- 2.25 * 10^{-5}}$

$R = 4000$

So, we have:

$(R,W) \to (4000,0)$

When $R =0$ , we have:

$-0.02W + 0.00004RW = 0$

$-0.02W + 0.00004W*0 = 0$

$-0.02W + 0 = 0$

$-0.02W = 0$

$W=0$

So, we have:

$(R,W) \to (0,0)$

Hence, the points of equilibrium are:

$(0,0)$ $(4000,0)$ and $(500,79)$
