What are the intercepts of the line 2x + 4y = 12?

1 answer:

6 0

<span>if you're finding the x intercept, y is ALWAYS 0, so in this, you can just get rid of the -4y because you know that it's 0, so you're left with 2x=12 divide by 2 on both sides so you find x intercept is (6,0) on the graph
the y works the same way, if you're looking for the y, you know that the x is zero, so you're left with -4y=12, divide by -4y on both sides and you end up with the y intercept being (0,-3)

x int.= (6,0)
y int.= (0,-3)

by the way, when it's written like that, it's called standard form, so to find the intercepts on 2x=12+4y, you'd have to convert it into standard form (Ax=By=C) so you subtract 4y on both sides to make it 2x-4y=12, and then once you have it like that you can do the math to find the y and x intercepts.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

D is a function because it passes the vertical line test, meaning that you can draw a vertical line anywhere through the graph and it will only it the lines one time.

Use the multiplication property of exponents to determine if each statement is true or false.

lisabon 2012 [21]

1)
LHS:
${a}^{4} \times {a}^{3} \times a \\ = {a}^{4 + 3 + 1} \\ = {a}^{7}$
LHS = RHS. So, the statement is true

2)
LHS:
${5}^{2} \times {3}^{4} \\ = 25 \times 81 \\ = {5}^{2} \times {9}^{2} \\ = {45}^{2}$
LHS not equal to RHS. So, the statement is false

3)
LHS:
${x}^{6} \times {x}^{0} \times {x}^{2} \times {x}^{3} \\ = {x}^{6 + 0 + 2 + 3} \\ = {x}^{11}$
LHS = RHS. So, the statement is true.

4)
LHS:
$7 {m}^{2} \times 2m \times 4 {m}^{5} \\ = (7 \times 2 \times 4) {m}^{2 + 1 + 5} \\ = 56 {m}^{8}$
LHS = RHS. So, the statement is true.

Answer:

n=-1

Step-by-step explanation:

First you add 5 to both sides an you would get -15n=15

Next divide by -15 on both sides and get n=-1

What is the piecewise-defined function that expresses the cost of the order, C(x), in terms of the number of photos ordered, x?

Murljashka [212]

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

The values in the table change by $3.80 from one line to the next. Since each change from line to line changes in number of photos by 20, the average cost per photo is $3.80/20 = $0.19. There is apparently a $5.80 -3.80 = $2.00 shipping charge for numbers of photos in the range shown in the table.

Thus, the piecewise function has 3 pieces:

for x < 100: $2.00 + 0.19x

for x < 200: $4.50 + 0.17x

for x ≥ 200: $0.15x

This could be written as ...

$C(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{rcl}\$2.00+0.19x&\text{for}&0\le x$

An adult giraffe was recently measured was 5 1/6 yards tall, including its neck. This giraffe,s neck was 2 1/3 yards long. What

Artemon [7]

Answer:

2 5/6

Step-by-step explanation:

you have to turn the 1/3 into 2/6 by multiplying by 2 to make it easier. then, you subtract 2 2/6 from 5 1/6 and you get 2 5/6 for the length of the body
