How many x intercepts does the graph of y =|x-2|+12

Mathematics

WARRIOR [948]3 years ago
8 0

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

so

The equation not have solution for y=0

therefore

The graph not have x-intercepts

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

Answer:

x = -0.846647 or x = -0.177346 or x = 0.841952 or x = 1.58204

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

5 x^4 - 7 x^3 - 5 x^2 + 5 x + 1 = 0

Eliminate the cubic term by substituting y = x - 7/20:

1 + 5 (y + 7/20) - 5 (y + 7/20)^2 - 7 (y + 7/20)^3 + 5 (y + 7/20)^4 = 0

Expand out terms of the left hand side:

5 y^4 - (347 y^2)/40 - (43 y)/200 + 61197/32000 = 0

Divide both sides by 5:

y^4 - (347 y^2)/200 - (43 y)/1000 + 61197/160000 = 0

Add (sqrt(61197) y^2)/200 + (347 y^2)/200 + (43 y)/1000 to both sides:

y^4 + (sqrt(61197) y^2)/200 + 61197/160000 = (sqrt(61197) y^2)/200 + (347 y^2)/200 + (43 y)/1000

y^4 + (sqrt(61197) y^2)/200 + 61197/160000 = (y^2 + sqrt(61197)/400)^2:

(y^2 + sqrt(61197)/400)^2 = (sqrt(61197) y^2)/200 + (347 y^2)/200 + (43 y)/1000

Add 2 (y^2 + sqrt(61197)/400) λ + λ^2 to both sides:

(y^2 + sqrt(61197)/400)^2 + 2 λ (y^2 + sqrt(61197)/400) + λ^2 = (43 y)/1000 + (sqrt(61197) y^2)/200 + (347 y^2)/200 + 2 λ (y^2 + sqrt(61197)/400) + λ^2

(y^2 + sqrt(61197)/400)^2 + 2 λ (y^2 + sqrt(61197)/400) + λ^2 = (y^2 + sqrt(61197)/400 + λ)^2:

(y^2 + sqrt(61197)/400 + λ)^2 = (43 y)/1000 + (sqrt(61197) y^2)/200 + (347 y^2)/200 + 2 λ (y^2 + sqrt(61197)/400) + λ^2

(43 y)/1000 + (sqrt(61197) y^2)/200 + (347 y^2)/200 + 2 λ (y^2 + sqrt(61197)/400) + λ^2 = (2 λ + 347/200 + sqrt(61197)/200) y^2 + (43 y)/1000 + (sqrt(61197) λ)/200 + λ^2:

(y^2 + sqrt(61197)/400 + λ)^2 = y^2 (2 λ + 347/200 + sqrt(61197)/200) + (43 y)/1000 + (sqrt(61197) λ)/200 + λ^2

Complete the square on the right hand side:

(y^2 + sqrt(61197)/400 + λ)^2 = (y sqrt(2 λ + 347/200 + sqrt(61197)/200) + 43/(2000 sqrt(2 λ + 347/200 + sqrt(61197)/200)))^2 + (4 (2 λ + 347/200 + sqrt(61197)/200) (λ^2 + (sqrt(61197) λ)/200) - 1849/1000000)/(4 (2 λ + 347/200 + sqrt(61197)/200))

To express the right hand side as a square, find a value of λ such that the last term is 0.

This means 4 (2 λ + 347/200 + sqrt(61197)/200) (λ^2 + (sqrt(61197) λ)/200) - 1849/1000000 = (8000000 λ^3 + 60000 sqrt(61197) λ^2 + 6940000 λ^2 + 34700 sqrt(61197) λ + 6119700 λ - 1849)/1000000 = 0.

Thus the root λ = (-3 sqrt(61197) - 347)/1200 + 1/60 (-i sqrt(3) + 1) ((3 i sqrt(622119) - 4673)/2)^(1/3) + (19 (i sqrt(3) + 1))/(3 2^(2/3) (3 i sqrt(622119) - 4673)^(1/3)) allows the right hand side to be expressed as a square.

(This value will be substituted later):

(y^2 + sqrt(61197)/400 + λ)^2 = (y sqrt(2 λ + 347/200 + sqrt(61197)/200) + 43/(2000 sqrt(2 λ + 347/200 + sqrt(61197)/200)))^2

Take the square root of both sides:

y^2 + sqrt(61197)/400 + λ = y sqrt(2 λ + 347/200 + sqrt(61197)/200) + 43/(2000 sqrt(2 λ + 347/200 + sqrt(61197)/200)) or y^2 + sqrt(61197)/400 + λ = -y sqrt(2 λ + 347/200 + sqrt(61197)/200) - 43/(2000 sqrt(2 λ + 347/200 + sqrt(61197)/200))

Solve using the quadratic formula:

y = 1/40 (sqrt(2) sqrt(400 λ + 347 + sqrt(61197)) + sqrt(2) sqrt(347 - sqrt(61197) - 400 λ + 172 sqrt(2) 1/sqrt(400 λ + 347 + sqrt(61197)))) or y = 1/40 (sqrt(2) sqrt(400 λ + 347 + sqrt(61197)) - sqrt(2) sqrt(347 - sqrt(61197) - 400 λ + 172 sqrt(2) 1/sqrt(400 λ + 347 + sqrt(61197)))) or y = 1/40 (sqrt(2) sqrt(347 - sqrt(61197) - 400 λ - 172 sqrt(2) 1/sqrt(400 λ + 347 + sqrt(61197))) - sqrt(2) sqrt(400 λ + 347 + sqrt(61197))) or y = 1/40 (-sqrt(2) sqrt(400 λ + 347 + sqrt(61197)) - sqrt(2) sqrt(347 - sqrt(61197) - 400 λ - 172 sqrt(2) 1/sqrt(400 λ + 347 + sqrt(61197)))) where λ = (-3 sqrt(61197) - 347)/1200 + 1/60 (-i sqrt(3) + 1) ((3 i sqrt(622119) - 4673)/2)^(1/3) + (19 (i sqrt(3) + 1))/(3 2^(2/3) (3 i sqrt(622119) - 4673)^(1/3))

Substitute λ = (-3 sqrt(61197) - 347)/1200 + 1/60 (-i sqrt(3) + 1) ((3 i sqrt(622119) - 4673)/2)^(1/3) + (19 (i sqrt(3) + 1))/(3 2^(2/3) (3 i sqrt(622119) - 4673)^(1/3)) and approximate:

y = -1.19665 or y = -0.527346 or y = 0.491952 or y = 1.23204

Substitute back for y = x - 7/20:

x - 7/20 = -1.19665 or y = -0.527346 or y = 0.491952 or y = 1.23204

Add 7/20 to both sides:

x = -0.846647 or y = -0.527346 or y = 0.491952 or y = 1.23204

Substitute back for y = x - 7/20:

x = -0.846647 or x - 7/20 = -0.527346 or y = 0.491952 or y = 1.23204

Add 7/20 to both sides:

x = -0.846647 or x = -0.177346 or y = 0.491952 or y = 1.23204

Substitute back for y = x - 7/20:

x = -0.846647 or x = -0.177346 or x - 7/20 = 0.491952 or y = 1.23204

Add 7/20 to both sides:

x = -0.846647 or x = -0.177346 or x = 0.841952 or y = 1.23204

Substitute back for y = x - 7/20:

x = -0.846647 or x = -0.177346 or x = 0.841952 or x - 7/20 = 1.23204

Add 7/20 to both sides:

Answer: x = -0.846647 or x = -0.177346 or x = 0.841952 or x = 1.58204

a car decreased in value from $980 to $720 in one year what was the per cent of decrease to the nearest whole per cent ?
kolezko [41]

The decrease was 27%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Old value = $980

New value = $720

Decrease = Old value - New value

Decrease=980-720=\$260

Percent decrease = \frac{Decreased/ amount}{Old value}*100

Percent\ decrease=\frac{260}{980}*100\\Percent\ decrease=0.265*100\\Percent\ decrease= 26.5\%

Rounding off to near whole percent

Percent decrease = 27%

The decrease was 27%.
