Find the x- and y-intercepts 3x+y=5
vlada-n [284]

The x - intercept is (\frac{5}{3}, 0) and y - intercept is (0, 5)

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given that : 3x + y = 5

<em><u>To find: x - intercept and y -intercept</u></em>

The x-intercept is where a line crosses the x-axis, and the y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y-axis.

To find the x intercept using the equation of the line, plug in 0 for the y variable and solve for x

3x + 0 = 5

3x = 5

x = \frac{5}{3}

Therefore the x - intercept is (\frac{5}{3}, 0)

To find the y intercept using the equation of the line, plug in 0 for the x variable and solve for y

3(0) + y = 5

y = 5

Therefore y - intercept is (0, 5)

OlgaM077 [116]

Step-by-step explanation:

For the 1st picture,

The 2nd option is the answer.

Let say we have

a_{3}

Replace it into the recursive formula.

a_{3} =  a_{3 - 2} + (a)   _{3 - 1}

We are given a,1 and a,2 so the 3rd terms has to be

2

So the second option is the answer.

For the second picture, a geometric sequence is a group of terms that has the same ratio between each consecutively.

Infinite means going on forever

The fourth option is the answer.
