The slope-intercept form of a line is:

y=mx+b, where m=slope and b=y-intecept

So if y=-4x-6 the slope is -4.

Y = -4x -6  

the equation is written in slope intercept form ( y = mx +b ) where b is the y intercept
therefore the y intercept is -6

Answer:

1. -16; 2. +64; 3. 16

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the volume of a cylinder is

V = πr²x

Data:

r = (x - 8)   mm

V = 1024π mm³

Calculations:

1. Find the cubic equation  

V = πr²h

1024π = π(x - 8)² × x

Divide each side by π

1024 = x(x - 8)²  

1024 = x(x² - 16x  + 64)

1024 =    x³ - 16x² + 64x

x³ - 16x² + 64x - 1024 = 0

2. Solve the cubic equation

The general formula for a third-degree polynomial is

f(x) = ax³ + bx² + cx + d

Your polynomial is  

f(x) = x³ - 16x² + 64x - 1024

a = 1; d = -1024

According to the <em>rational roots theorem</em>, the possible roots are

factors of d/factors of a

Factors of d = ±1, ±2, ±4, ±8, ±16, ± 32, ± 64, ±128, ±256, ±512, ±1024

Factors of a = ±1

Potential roots are x = ±1, ±2, ±4, ±8, ±16, ± 32, ± 64, ±128, ±256, ±512, ±1024

That's a lot of possibilities to check by trial and error. I will just use the one that works.

Try x = 16 by synthetic division.

16|1  -16   64  -1024

  <u>|     16     0   1024 </u>

   1     0   64        0

So,

(x³ - 16x² + 64x - 1024)/(x – 16) = x² + 64

and

(x - 16)(x² + 64) = 0

x - 16 = 0        x² + 64 =    0

     x = 16       x²         = -64

                       x          =  ±8i

There is only one real root: x = 16 mm

The length of a rectangle is 4 less than twice the width. If the perimeter of the rectangle is 130, find the length of the recta
Alchen [17]

Answer:

Let L be the length of the rectangle and w be the width of the rectangle.

"The lenght of a rectangle is one less than twice the width" means L=2W-1

Using perimeter formula of a rectangle which is P=2(L+W) you have:

P=2(L+W)

130=2(2W-1+W)

Solve equation above to find W

130=2(3W-1)

130=6W-2

130+2=6W

132=6W

W=22

From here you find L=2W-1=2x22-1=43

Only thing left is to find area A=LxW
