Y = 16x^2 + 36
Lets find the intercepts, making x and y to zero and solving:
<span>0 = 16x^2 + 36
</span><span>16x^2 = -36
</span>therefore there is not x-intercept, that is, when y equals zero the function does not have a value, is not defined.
Now, the y intercept, that is when x equals zero:
<span>y = 16x^2 + 36
</span><span>y = 16(0)^2 + 36
</span>y = 36
so, when x = 0, y = 36, that is, the function hits the y axis when x = 0

Ok so if we were to do the equation in real life, then it is not true since accorind to the equation, the apple goes higher as the time passses, therefor I  conclude you forgot to include a (-) sign in front of the 16x^2 so therefor the true equation is y=-16x^2+36
 
x intercept is when the graph crosses the x axis or when y=0
y intercept is when the graph crosses the y axis or when x=0

so x intercept
y=-16x^2+36
y=0
0=-16x^2+36
add 16x^2 to both sides
16x^2=36
divide both sides by 4
4x^2=9
divide both sides by 4
x^2=9/4
therefor
x=-3/2 or 3/2
since x represents time and you cannot have negative time in real life, discard -3/2
x intercept=3/2 (times=3/2 seconds ie, the apple hits the ground at 3/2 seconds)

y intercept
set x=0
y=-16(0)^2+36
y=36
y intercept=36 (this is the starting height of the apple)


x intercept=3/2
y intercept=36

The base of a cube is parallel to the horizon. If the cube is cut by a plane to form a cross section, under what circumstance wo
Keith_Richards [23]
This question has this set of answer choices:

a) when the plane cuts three faces of the cube, separating one corner from the others

b) when the plane passes through a pair of vertices that do not share a common face

c) when the plane is perpendicular to the base and intersects two adjacent vertical faces

d) when the plane makes an acute angle to the base and intersects three vertical faces

e) not enough information to answer the question

The right answer is the first choice: a) when the plane cuts three faces of the cube, separating one corner from the others

You can see a picture of this case in the figure attached: as you can see the cross section (in pink) is a triangle.

What is the reflection of point P(-1, 6) across the line y = x?
gladu [14]
If you are reflecting across the line y = x, then the x value becomes the y-vale and the y-value becomes the x-value.  So the answer would be  (6, -1)  (Just trade places with x and y.)

Ted needs an average of at least 70 on his three history test he has scored already 85 and 60 on two test what is the minimum gr
PilotLPTM [1.2K]
So average=(total of scores)/(number of tests)
needs at least average of 70
at least is represented as greater than or equal to or the sign (<u>></u>)
70<u>></u>(total)/(number oftests)

since we have 3 tests, we have to have 3 scores so
70<u>></u>(x+y+z)/3
he scored 85 and 60
70<u>></u>(x+85+60)/3 (doesn't matter which to subsitute)
70<u>></u>(x+145)/3
multiply obht sides by 3
210<u>></u>x+145
subtract 145 from both sides
65<u>></u>x
he needs to get at leas 65 on his third test
