What is the y-intercept of the function,represented by the table of values below?

Mathematics

Hitman42 [59]3 years ago

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

So the y-intercept is not given by your table because there is no x that is listed as 0.

But don't fret; we can still find it.

Let's see if the function is linear by seeing if we have the same slope per two points in the table.

For the first pair ( the points (-2,16) and (1,4) ), x increased by 3 and the y decreased by 12 so the slope there is -12/3=-4.

Now looking at the next pair ( the points (1,4) and (2,0) ), x increased by 1 while y decreased by 4 so the slope is -4/1=-4.

So the function appears to be linear.

So the slope-intercept form of a line is y=mx+b where m is slope and b is y-intercept.

We already found the slope from earlier which is m=-4.

So the equation so far is y=-4x+b.

Now to find b, the y-intercept, we need to use a point (x,y) on the line along with y=-4x+b.

Let's see my favorite on the list of points is (2,0).

y=-4x+b with (x,y)=(2,0)

0=-4(2)+b

0=-8+b

8=b

So the y-intercept is 8.

A new pencil is 19 centimeters long. Levi uses it for a month. The pencil now measures 8 centimeters.
pogonyaev

Answer:

11 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Length of new pencil = 19 cm

Length of pencil after using a month = 8 cm

Question asked:

The pencil is centimeters shorter now than when it was new = ?

Solution:

Length of new pencil = 19 cm

Length of pencil after using a month =  8 cm

The pencil is centimeters shorter now than when it was new = 19 cm -  8 cm

                                                                                                     = 11 cm

Length of pencil has been used during a month = 11 cm

Find two additional roots of P(x)=0.<br><br> 13+sqrt 3 and 7i
vova2212 [387]
So, x = 13, x = √3 and x =7i.

now, recall that for an EVEN radical, there are two possible roots, namely is say √3 is say hmmm some value "a", that means that a*a = √3, however, -a*-a is also √3, therefore, ±√3 are two valid values, and therefore -√3 is another one.

now.... keep in mind that, complex solutions or roots, never come all by their lonesome, their sister is always with them, the conjugate, so, for 7i or namely 0 + 7i, her sister is always around, 0 - 7i, which is the other root.

The director of admissions at Kinzua University in Nova Scotia estimated the distribution of student admissions for the fall sem
Naily [24]

Answer: 1406

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Table :

Admissions   Probability

1,040                0.3

1,320                0.2

1,660                0.5

Now, the expected number of admissions for the fall semester is given by :-

E(x)=p_1x_1+p_2x_2+p_3x_3\\\\\Rightarrow\ E(x)=0.3\times1040+0.2\times1320+0.5\times1660\\\\\Rightarrow\ E(x)=1406

Hence, the expected number of admissions for the fall semester = 1406
