What is the x-intercept for the following linear equation:

1 answer:

3 0

The "x-intercept" occurs when y=0, because it is at this point that the equation touches the x axis. So if you plug in y=0 into the equation you can solve for the x coordinate.

4x-2(0)-8=0

4x-8=0

4x=8

x=2

So the x-intercept is the point (2,0)

PLEASE HELP

Take the longer leg length as $x$

$(x-8)^2+x^2=(x+8)^2 \\ \\ x^2-16x+64+x^2=x^2+16x+64 \\ \\ x^2-32x=0$

Use the formular
$x={ \frac{-b+ \sqrt{ b^2-4ac}}{2a} } \\ \\ x={ \frac{32+32}{2} } \\ \\ x=32$

∴ shorter leg = 32 - 8 = 24ft
longer leg = 32ft
hypotenuse = 32 + 8 = 40ft
