Find the x and y intercept for f(x)=x^2-3x-40

Mathematics
1 answer:
Dahasolnce [82]3 years ago
3 0

To find the y-intercept, simply set the value of x equal to 0, and solve for y, or f(x).

f(x) = 0^2 - 3(0) - 40

f(x) = -40

<h3>The y-intercept is -40.</h3>

Because this is a 2nd degree polynomial, we cannot find the x-intercepts in one step, and must instead use one of a few different methods.

In this case, we're going to use the quadratic formula:

\frac{-b +/- \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac} }{2a}

Plug in the values.

3 +/- √(-3^2 + 160) / 2

3 +/- √169 / 2

3 +/- 13 / 2

(3 + 13) / 2 = 16 / 2 = 8

(3 - 13) = -10 / 2 = -5

<h3>The x intercepts are 8, and -5.</h3>

Which binomial is a factor of 49x2 + 84 xy + 36y2?
bezimeni [28]

Answer:

(7x+6y) is a binomial factor of the given expression  49x^2+84xy+36y^2

Therefore  49x^2+84xy+36y^2=(7x+6y)(7x+6y)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression is 49x^2+84xy+36y^2

To find the binomial factor :

49x^2+84xy+36y^2

Rewritting the above expression as

=7^2x^2+2(7)(6)xy+6^2y^2

=(7x)^2+2(7x)(6y)+(6y)^2

=(7x+6y)^2 ( using the formula =(a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2 here a=7x and y=6y )

=(7x+6y)(7x+6y) ( using the formula =(a+b)^2=(a+b)(a+b) )

Therefore  49x^2+84xy+36y^2=(7x+6y)(7x+6y)

(7x+6y) is a binomial factor of the given expression  49x^2+84xy+36y^2

Rasek [7]

Answer: A. 20%

Step-by-step explanation:

First, to find the total number of teachers, we can add 25+32+18+5+20=100

Next, we divide the number of teachers in 2014 (20) by the total number of teachers (100) as follows:

20 ÷ 100 = 0.2

Finally, to make 0.2 a percentage, we can multiply 0.2 X 100 = 20

Therefore, the correct answer is A.
