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

Mathematics
1 answer:
Alexandra [31]3 years ago
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)

Now there is a square city of unknown size with a gate at the center of each side. There is a tree 20 b from the north gate. Tha
Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

The length of each side of the city is 250b

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

a = 20 --- tree distance from north gate

b =14 --- movement from south gate

c = 1775 --- movement in west direction from (b)

See attachment for illustration

Required

Find x

To do this, we have:

\triangle ADE \sim \triangle ACB --- similar triangles

So, we have the following equivalent ratios

AE:DE = AB:CB

Where:

AE = 20\\ DE = x/2 \\ AB = 20 + x + 14 \\ CB = 1775

Substitute these in the above equation

20:x/2 = 20 + x + 14: 1775

20:x/2 = x + 34: 1775

Express as fraction

\frac{20}{x/2} = \frac{x + 34}{1775}

\frac{40}{x} = \frac{x + 34}{1775}

Cross multiply

x *(x + 34) = 1775 * 40

Open bracket

x^2 + 34x = 71000

Rewrite as:

x^2 + 34x - 71000 = 0

Expand

x^2 + 284x -250x - 71000 = 0

Factorize

x(x + 284) -250(x + 284)= 0

Factor out x + 284

(x - 250)(x + 284)= 0

Split

x - 250 = 0 \ or\ x + 284= 0

Solve for x

x = 250 \ or\ x =- 284

x can't be negative;

So:

x = 250

Nancy plans to deposit $1,000 quarterly for 35 years at 8.25% Interest, compounded monthly. How much will she
melomori [17]

Answer:

$17,771.92

Step-by-step explanation:

A = P (1 + r/n)^nt

A = Future value (the answer you're trying to find)

P = Initial deposit ($1000)

R = Interest rate (8.25%; this will be represented as a decimal in the equation (.0825))

N = # of times interest is compounded per unit t (12)

T = Time (35)

35 * 12 = 420

1000 (1 + .0825/12)^420

1000(1.006875)^420

1000*17.77191635

A = $17,771.92 (rounded to the nearest hundredths)

Find the number of integral solutions of x+y +z = 12, where −3 ≤ x ≤ 4, 2 ≤ y ≤ 11, and<br> z ≥ 3.
SashulF [63]

There are 59 integer solutions

Such questions are best solved by writing cases and calculating the total number of cases. So beginning with

1)  x = -3. The possible combinations are as follows:-

-3 2 13

-3 3 12

-3 4 11

-3 5 10

-3 6 9

-3 7 8

-3 8 7

-3 9 6

-3 10 5

-3 11 4

10 combinations

2) x = -2

-2 2 12

through

-2 11 3

10 combinations

3) x = -1

-1 2 11

through

-1 10 3

9 combinations

4) x = 0

0 2 10

through

0 9 3

8 combinations

as we can see from the pattern at x =1  we get 7 combinations, at x =2  we get 6 combinations, at x=3 we get 5 combinations and at x =4  we get 5 combinations.

Thus total number of combinations 4+5+6+7+8+9+10+10 = 59 integer solution.
