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>

stepan [7]

Answer:

Numbers of students at a primary school before= 240

Number of increased students =42

Again,

Increased number of students in percent(%)= 42/240×100%= 17.5%

Therefore 17.5% students are increased this year.

A Normal model states that if we draw repeated random samples of the same​ size, n, from some population and measure sample​ pro
notka56 [123]

Answer:

1) Randomization condition: We assume that we are selecting random samples so this condition is satisfied

2) 10% condition: We assume that the random sample selected is less than 10% of the population size

3) Success/ Failure condition:

For this case we need to satisfy this:

np \geq 10, n(1-p)\geq 10

So since the condition 1 and 2 are satisfied the correct option for this case would be:

a)np and nq must be respectively at least equal to 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the following options:

a)np and nq must be respectively at least equal to 10

b) as n increases, the distribution of sample proportions becomes less Normal

c) np and nq must be respectively less than 10

d) np plus nq must be at least 10.

For this case we need 3 basic conditions:

1) Randomization condition: We assume that we are selecting random samples so this condition is satisfied

2) 10% condition: We assume that the random sample selected is less than 10% of the population size

3) Success/ Failure condition:

For this case we need to satisfy this:

np \geq 10, n(1-p)\geq 10

So since the condition 1 and 2 are satisfied the correct option for this case would be:

a)np and nq must be respectively at least equal to 10

An 18 ft. tree casts a 15 ft. long shadow as shown in the following figure. Which of the following is the angle formed by the su
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

The angle is 50.2°.

Step-by-step explanation:

The tree and its shadow from a right triangle with the tree being the perpendicular and the shadow being the base as shown in the figure attached.

Therefore the angle θ formed by the sun's rays and the ground is:

\theta = tan^-1(\frac{18}{15} )=\boxed{50.2^o}
