A.
the y intercept is where x=0
x represents the number of months
when the number of months is 0, that is the initial number of games won

that looks to be a little below y=2, so maybe y=1.8?
the y intercept is y≈1.8
it represents the number of games won with 0 months of practice

B.
we can use y=mx+b
m=slope
b=y intercept
we know the y intercept
find the slope
slope=rise/run
the I'm going from x=0 to x=10
the rise is about 18.95 (from 1.8 to 20.75)
the run is 10
so slope would be 18.95/10=1.895

the equation would be y=1.895x+1.8
the points were (0,1.8) and (10,20.75)

Find the x-intercept of the parabola of with vertex (1,20) and the y-intercept (0,16). write your answer in this form: (x1,y1),(

svetoff [14.1K]

I assume that the parabola in this particular problem is one whose axis of symmetry is parallel to the y axis. The formula we're going to use in this case is (x-h)2=4p(y-k). We know variables h and k from the vertex (1,20) but p is not given. However, we can solve for p by substituting values x and y in the formula with the y-intercept:

(0-1)^2=4p(16-20)

Solving for p, p=-1/16.

Going back to the formula, we can finally solve for the x-intercepts. Simply fill in variables p, h and k then set y to zero:

(x-1)^2=4(-1/16)(0-20)
(x-1)^2=5
x-1=(+-)sqrt(5)
x=(+-)sqrt(5)+1

Here, we have two values of x

x=sqrt(5)+1 and
x=-sqrt(5)+1

thus, the answers are: (sqrt(5)+1,0) and (-sqrt(5)+1,0).

A King in ancient times agreed to reward the inventor of chess with one grain of wheat on the first of the 64 squares of a chess

maxonik [38]

Answer:

Total weight of the wheat placed on 45th square will be = $1.26\times 10^{6}tons$

Step-by-step explanation:

King rewarded the inventor of chess by giving grain of wheat on every square of the chess board. He places one grain of wheat on first square, 2 on second, 4 on 3rd, 8 on 4th and so on.

In fact he places grains of wheat in a progression S = 1, 2, 4, 8, 16.........n terms where value of n is 64.

We can rewrite the progression as S = 2°, 2, 2², 2³,.........n terms (n = 64)

In a geometric progression we know the nth term = $a(r^{n-1})$
