Wouldn’t that just be infinitely?
Did somebody say you're supposed to draw the graph of the equation ?
Is that the assignment ?
OK. Just like every other equation you need to graph, get it in the
standard form, where 'y' is all alone on one side, and everything else
is on the other side. When you do that, you'll be able to spot the slope
and y-intercept of the line, or get some points, or whatever you want.
4y + 12 = 0
Subtract 12 from each side: 4y = -12
Divide each side by 4: y = -3
There's the equation you can handle.
The y-intercept is -3, and the slope is zero.
Would you like some points ? OK. Pick a couple of values for 'x',
and calculate the value of 'y' for each one:
The first value I picked for 'x': x = 72
The equation is y=-3, so when x=72, y=-3. The point is (72, -3)
The second value I picked for 'x' is: x = 1
The equation is y=-3, so when x=1, y=-3. The second point is (1, -3).
The third value I picked for 'x' is 4 billion.
The equation is y=-3, so when x=4 billion, y=-3. The third point is (1, -3).
Do you see what's going on here ? Your original equation didn't even
have 'x' in it, so we could tell right away that when the graph is drawn,
the value of 'y' at every point can't depend on 'x'.
When we simplified the equation and got it in standard form, we found that
the slope of the graph is zero. That means the graph doesn't rise or fall ...
it's just a horizontal line. Sure enough, the height of points on the line
doesn't depend on 'x'. The value of 'y' at every point on the line is -3 .
In order for the product of some numbers to end in a zero, the prime factors of ... So 1 x 2 x 3 x ... x 98 x 99 x 100 (AKA 100!) has 24 zeroes at the end
They have enough balloons because I used division as my operation. 3 can go into 16 five times. I got 1 after subtracting and bring down 2. 3 can go into 12 evenly 4 times. 12 minus 12 equals 0 with no remainder. So, they get 54 balloons for each group. But I want to know how many EACH student gets enough balloons. 54 divided by 6 groups equals 9 balloons for each student.
