Answer:

C. 3a + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression that describes the verbal expression is 3a + 6.

Now let us approach this step wisely;

Triple quantity a = 3a

Increased by 6 = + 6 , an increment is addition to a term.

So, the full algebraic expression is 3a + 6

The solution is 3a + 6. Word problems like this should be approached step wisely.

Match the key aspect of a function's graph with its meaning

Aliun [14]

Answer:

y- intercept --> Location on graph where input is zero

f(x) < 0 --> Intervals of the domain where the graph is below the x-axis

x- intercept --> Location on graph where output is zero

f(x) > 0 --> Intervals of the domain where the graph is above the x-axis

Step-by-step explanation:

Y-intercept: The y-intercept is equivalent to the point where x= 0. 'x' is the input variable in an equation, therefore the y-intercept is where the input, or x, is equal to 0.

f(x) <0: Notice the 'lesser than' sign. This means that the value of f(x), or 'y', is less than 0. This means that this area consists of intervals of the domain below the x-axis.

X-intercept: The x-intercept is the location of the graph where y= 0, or the output is equal to 0.

f(x) >0: In this, there is a 'greater than' sign. This means that f(x), or 'y', is greater than 0. Therefore, this consists of intervals of the domain above the x-axis.

Is x+y+1=0 a tangent of both y^2=4x and x^2=4y parabolas?

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

yes

Step-by-step explanation:

The line intersects each parabola in one point, so is tangent to both.

For the first parabola, the point of intersection is ...

y^2 = 4(-y-1)

y^2 +4y +4 = 0

(y+2)^2 = 0

y = -2 . . . . . . . . one solution only

x = -(-2)-1 = 1

The point of intersection is (1, -2).

For the second parabola, the equation is the same, but with x and y interchanged:

x^2 = 4(-x-1)

(x +2)^2 = 0

x = -2, y = 1 . . . . . one point of intersection only

___

If the line is not parallel to the axis of symmetry, it is tangent if there is only one point of intersection. Here the line x+y+1=0 is tangent to both y^2=4x and x^2=4y.

_____

Another way to consider this is to look at the two parabolas as mirror images of each other across the line y=x. The given line is perpendicular to that line of reflection, so if it is tangent to one parabola, it is tangent to both.
