Answer:

The x-intercept is -8

The y-intercept is 4

Explanation:

1- The x-intercept:

The x-intercept of a function is the value of the x at y = 0

Therefore, to get the x-intercept, all we have to do is set y=0 in the given function and solve for x

This is done as follows:

-x + 2y = 8

-x + 2(0) = 8

x = -8 ....................> x-intercept = -8

2- The y-intercept:

The y-intercept of a function is the value of the y at x = 0

Therefore, to get the y-intercept, all we have to do is set x=0 in the given function and solve for y

This is done as follows:

-x + 2y = 8

0 + 2y = 8

2y = 8

y = 8/2 = 4 ....................> y-intercept = 4

Note: The graphical solution is shown in the attached picture

Hope this helps :)

Answer:

The answer to your question is below

Step-by-step explanation:

csc α - cot α = $\frac{sin \alpha }{1 + cos \alpha }$

Work with the left part

$\frac{1}{sin\alpha } - \frac{cos \alpha }{sin \alpha}$

Simplify

$\frac{1 - cos\alpha }{sin\alpha }$

Multiply by the reciprocal

$\frac{1 - cos\alpha }{sin \alpha } x \frac{1 + cos\alpha }{1 + cos\alpha }$

Simplify

$\frac{1 - cos^{2}\alpha}{sin\alpha (1 + cos\alpha)}$

Remember that

sin²α = 1 -cos²α

Substitute the previous equation

$\frac{sin^{2}\alpha }{sin\alpha(1 + cos\alpha ) }$

Simplify

$\frac{sin\alpha}{1 + cos \alpha}$

The identity i proved.

Fencing a horse corral carol has 2400 ft of fencing to fence in a rectangular horse corral. (a) find a function that models the

Vanyuwa [196]

Here it is given that the width is x ft and total length of the fence is 2400 ft .

Let the length be y ft

So we have

$2(x+y) =2400
\\
x+y=1200
\\
y = 1200 -x$

Let A represents area, and area is the product of length and width .

So we get

$A = x y$

Substituting the value of y, we will get

$A = x (1200-x)= 1200x -x^2$

Second part

The area is maximum at the vertex, and vertex is

$x = - \frac{1200}{2(-1)} = 600 feet$

And

$y=1200-x = 1200-600 = 600 feet$

And that's the required dimensions .
