Answer:

The x intercept is (-3,0)

The y intercept is (0,-6/5)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the x intercept, set y =0 and solve for x

2x+5y=-6

2x+0 = -6

Divide by 2

2x/2 = -6/2

x = -3

The x intercept is (-3,0)

To find the y intercept, set x =0 and solve for y

2x+5y=-6

0+5y = -6

Divide by 5

5y/5 = -6/5

y = -6/5

The y intercept is (0,-6/5)

between 1995 and 2006, the population of samburg, usa(in thousands) can be modeled by f(x) = 0.35x(squared) - 2.1x+15.8 where x=

$\bf f(x)=0.35x^2-2.1x+15.8\qquad 
\begin{cases}
x=\textit{year since 1995}\\
f(x)=\textit{population amount}
\end{cases}$

the equation is a quadratic one, and it has a positive coefficient on the leading term, meaning, is opening upwards, so it has a "burrow" for the vertex.

the minimum or lowest point for a quadratic opening upwards is, well, the vertex point :), the "x" value is the year, the "y" or f(x) value is the population, we're asked for the year, or the x-coordinate of the vertex

well $\bf \begin{array}{llll}
f(x)=&0.35x^2&-2.1x&+15.8\\
&\quad \uparrow &\quad \uparrow&\uparrow \\
&\quad a&\quad b &c

Select the two figures that are similar to the 5 by 10 figure that is shown.

Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

Figure (i) and (iv)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Optional figure is given in attached file.

We need to find two figures that are similar to the 5 by 10 figure.

All the given figure are $m\times n$ form.

Where m represent the number of rows and n represent the number of columns.

Solution:

Observe that in the given figure 5 by 10, the number of rows is 5 and number of columns is 10, that is, the number of columns is double of that the number of rows.

So we need to find two such figures whose number of columns is double of the number of rows.

From the given figures, figure (i) the number of rows is 2 and number of columns is 4, which is double of number of rows. so it is similar to 5 by 10 figure.

Similarly in figure (iv), the number of rows is 4 and number of columns is 8. so the number of columns is double the number of rows, so it is similar to the figure 5 by 10.

Therefore, the two figures that are similar to 5 by 10 figure are given in attached file such as (i) and (iv).
