Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the y- intercept let x = 0 in the function

g(0) = 0 - 0 - 84 = - 84 ← y- intercept

To find the x- intercepts let y = 0, that is

x² - 5x - 84 = 0

To factor the quadratic

Consider the factors of the constant term (- 84) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term

The factors are - 12 and + 7, since

- 12 × 7 = - 84 and - 12 + 7 = - 5, thus

(x - 12)(x + 7) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x - 12 = 0 ⇒ x = 12

x + 7 = 0 ⇒ x = - 7

x- intercepts are x = - 7 and x = 12

write an expression that describes the number of points scored on touchdowns t and points after touchdowns p by one team in a ga

Len [333]

A touchdown is scored 6 points for each touchdown and the points made after a touchdown is scored 2 points each. We are given the following variables:

t = number of touchdowns
p = number of points after a touchdown

Total score = 6t + 2p

Where 6 times t is the total score given by the number of touchdowns multiplied by 6 points, the same goes for the expression 2p.

Suppose that the ages of members in a large billiards league have a known standard deviation of σ = 12 σ=12sigma, equals, 12 yea

asambeis [7]

Answer:

$n\geq 23$

Step-by-step explanation:

-For a known standard deviation, the sample size for a desired margin of error is calculated using the formula:

$n\geq (\frac{z\sigma}{ME})^2$

Where:

$\sigma$ is the standard deviation
$ME$ is the desired margin of error.

We substitute our given values to calculate the sample size:

$n\geq (\frac{z\sigma}{ME})^2\\\\\geq (\frac{1.96\times 12}{5})^2\\\\\geq 22.13\approx23$

Hence, the smallest desired sample size is 23

Which graph or equation represents a Nonpoportional relationship A B C or D

VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A graph that represents a proportional relationship usually has the line cutting through the line of origin (0, 0).

The graph in option A does not have the line passing through the point of origin (0, 0), therefore, it does not represent a proportional relationship.

For an equation that represents a proportional relationship, it is written in the form of y = kx

Where, k is the constant of proportionality.

Therefore, the two equations given represents a proportional relationship.
