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

Question: A canary's beak is, at most, 20mm long. Which algebraic inequality represents this situation?
Paul [167]

Answer:

Option (1).

Step-by-step explanation:

Statement given states that "A canary's beak is, at most 20 mm long."

Word "at most" means "the maximum".

So at most length of the beak means "length of the beak is less than equal to 20 mm".

And the expression representing this statement algebraically will be,

x ≤ 20

Therefore, option (1) will be the correct option.

Consider the function f(x) = 5x + 7. Which statement MUST be true? A) f(1) ? f(3) = f(3) ? f(1) B) f(1) ? f(3) = f(5) ? f(3) C)
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

The answers are as follows for the functions.

f(1) = 12

f(3) = 22

f(5) = 32

Step-by-step explanation:

To find any of these, simply input the value in for x in the equation given.

f(1)

f(x) = 5x + 7

f(x) = 5(1) + 7

f(x) = 5 + 7

f(x) = 12

You can repeat this for each of them and it will allow you to use all of the numbers in the equations given.

Find the x- and y-intercepts of the function f(x) = log(2x + 1) − 1.
zaharov [31]

Answer:

The y-intercept is -1

The x-intercept is 4.5

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following equation:

f(x) = log(2x+1) - 1

The y intercept is the value of f(x) when x is equal to 0, so replacing x by 0 and solving for f(x), we get:

f(0) = log(2*0 + 1 ) -1

f(0) = log(1) - 1

f(0) = 0 - 1 = -1

Additionally, the x-intercept is the value of x when f(x) is equal to 0. So, replacing f(x) by 0 and solving for x, we get:

0 = log(2x + 1) - 1\\1 = log(2x + 1)\\10^1=10^{log(2x + 1)}\\10 = 2x + 1\\10 - 1 = 2x\\4.5 = x
