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

How does 0.03 compare to 0.003
kati45 [8]

0.03 compare to 0.003

While comparing decimals we write the decimals one below the other according to the place value of each digits in place value chart

ones -- point -- Tenths -- Hundredths -- Thousandths

 0          .             0              3

 0          .             0              0                      3

Now we compare each digit left to right. We have 3 in hundredths  and 0 in hundredths place. 3 is greater

So 0.03  is greater than  0.003

0.03 > 0.003

Helga [31]

Answer:

7 X / 2 y

Step-by-step explanation:

let Mel equals to X and female equals to y

therefore ×=y

therefore to make the count proper we have to multiply the male by 7

so 7 x = 2y and the fraction becomes 7 X / 2 y

hope this helps
