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

Please help exponents and scientific notation

Alright! When you have a constant to a power times another constant to a power (ex. [x^3 times x^3] ) you simply add the powers and keep the base [x^6]. When you have a power to a power (ex. [(12^3)^3] ) you multiply the powers and keep the base [12^9]. When you have a constant to a power divided by a constant to a power (ex. [ x^2 divided by x^5] ) you subtract the powers and keep the base. It's hard to see the questions, so I'll leave this here for you to use as a guide.

A nature preserve worker calculates there are 6,000 deer in Sharon Woods Park. She also estimates that 75 more deer die than are
Nikolay [14]

The linear equation used to represent this situation is y = -75x + 6000

A linear equation is in the form:

y = mx + b;

where y, x are variable, m is the slope of the line and b is the y intercept.

Let y represent the amount of deer present in x years. There are 6000 deer presently, hence a = 6000. Also 75 more deer die than are born each year. Hence m = -75.

The linear equation is given by:

y = -75x + 6000

In 3 years:

y = -75(3) + 6000

y = 5775

For there to be 5325 deer:

5325 = -75x + 6000

x = 9 years

Over 1,000 people try to climb Mt. Everest every year. Of those who try to climb Everest, 31 percent succeed. The probability th
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

A- 0.125

B- Success of climbing mount Everest is independent of age.

Step-by-step explanation:

A.

Let x denote success in climbing Mount Everest

Let y denote the climber is at least 60 years old.

Therefore,

P(x) = 0.31

P(y) = 0.04

P( x ∩ y) = 0.005

Probability of success when the climber is at least 60 years old =

P( x ∩ y) ÷ P(y) = 0.005 ÷ 0.04 = 0.125.

B.

The success rate is independent of age as there are both success and failure rates across board on the scale of ages of climbers.
