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)

Mei has 8 jars of soup. Each jar contains 300 milliliters of soup. What is the smallest pot Mei can use to heat all the soup.[PL

Kobotan [32]

Answer: A pot of 2400ml

Step-by-step explanation: Ok, mei has 8 jars, and each jar has 300ml of soup, so the total amount of soup is 8 times 300ml

N = 8*300ml = 2400ml

So the smallest pot that mei can use to heat the soup is a pot that has exactly that volume. 2400ml, (discarding the fact that the volume of the soup will change as it is heated up)

The average American spent $8,508 on health care in 2011. The cost of health care is projected to rise about 5.8% per year for t

klio [65]

<h3>The projected amount the average American spent on health care in 2014 is $ 10075.91</h3>

Solution:

Given that,

The average American spent $8,508 on health care in 2011

The cost of health care is projected to rise about 5.8% per year for the years 2012-2022

The increasing function is given as:

$y = a(1+r)^t$

Where,

y is future value

a is initial value

r is growth rate in decimal

t is number of years

From given,

a = 8508

$r = 5.8 \% = \frac{5.8}{100} = 0.058$

t = 2011 to 2014 = 3 years

Substituting the values, we get,

$y = 8508(1 + 0.058)^3\\\\y = 8508(1.058)^3\\\\y = 8508 \times 1.1842\\\\y = 10075.914 \approx 10075.91$

Thus the projected amount the average American spent on health care in 2014 is $ 10075.91

Which of the following is the result of expanding 4 £ n=1 (2n-3)

geniusboy [140]

Answer: 8

Step-by-step explanation: the given expression is 2n-3

so when n=1, we will get, 2(1)-3=2-3=-1

when n=2, we will get, 2(2)-3= 4-3=-1

when n=3, we will get 2(3)-3= 6-3=3

when n=4, we will get 2(4)-3 = 8-3=5

so the required result of expansion is -1+1+3+5=8

answer is 8.

hope that helped!
