Answer:

The graph not have x-intercepts

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The x-intercept is the value of x when the value of y is equal to zero

we have

$y=\left|x-2\right|+12$

This is the equation of an absolute value in vertex form open upward

The vertex is the point (2,12)

The y-coordinate of the vertex is above the x-axis and the graph open upward

That means ----> The graph do not intersect the x-axis

therefore

The graph not have x-intercepts

<u><em>Verify</em></u>

For y=0

substitute in the equation

$0=\left|x-2\right|+12$

$\left|x-2\right|=-12$ ----> is not true

The left side of the equation cannot be a negative number

The equation not have solution for y=0

therefore

The graph not have x-intercepts

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

Yuki888 [10]

$ 3042

Explanation

we need to use the formula:

$\begin{gathered} A=P(1+r)^t \\ \text{where} \\ \text{ P is the principal} \\ r\text{ is the rate ( in decimal)} \\ t\text{ is the time} \end{gathered}$

Step 1

a)let

$\begin{gathered} P=2500 \\ r=\text{ 4\% =}\frac{4}{100}=0.04 \\ r=0.04 \\ t=5\text{ ( years)} \end{gathered}$

b) now, replace

$\begin{gathered} A=P(1+r)^t \\ A=2500(1+0.04)^5 \\ A=2500(1.04)^5 \\ A=2500(1.2166) \\ A=3041.63 \\ \text{rounded} \\ A=3042 \end{gathered}$

therefore, the answer is

$ 3042

hammer [34]

Answer:

Karen has only 2 checkers left

Step-by-step explanation:

Jasper has 7 checkers than Karen

Jasper has 9 checkers

The equation can be written as

7 + k = 9

This means that 7 plus Karen checkers equal 9 which is jasper checkers

It can also be written as

9 - 7 = k

k = 2

Therefore Karen has only 2 checkers left
