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

Answer: d, eight and fifty-three thousandths

Step-by-step explanation:

The number before the decimal place in the units column is a whole number (8).

The numbers after (.053) are thousandths because the whole number (8.053) consists of 4 numbers the same way a 1000 does.

Sorry I found the last bit harder to put into words, but I hope it helps :)

Answer:

Given: (5x^3 + 3x^2 - 7x + 10) - (3x^3 - x^2 + 4x - 1)

Remove the parenthesis, we get;

(5x^3 + 3x^2 - 7x + 10) - (3x^3-x^2+ 4x -1)

5x^3 + 3x^2 - 7x + 10- 3x^3 + x^2- 4x + 1

Like terms are the those terms with same variable and powers.

Combine like terms;

2x^3 + 4x^2 - 11x + 11

To write this polynomial in standard form, you write starting with the term with the highest degree, or exponent(i.e x^3), and then in decreasing order .

Standard form: 2x^3 + 4x^2 - 11x + 11

To, classify a polynomial by degree, you just look at the highest exponent, or degree.

Since, 3 is the highest degree (x^3), it is a cubic.

Now, classify a polynomial by the number of terms, count how many terms are in the polynomial( 2x^3 + 4x^2 - 11x + 11)

Number of terms: 4 (so this is polynomial)

[2]

Similarly,

for  (9w - 4w^2 + 10) + (8w^2 + 7 + 5w)

Remove the parenthesis, we get;

9w - 4w^2 + 10+ 8w^2 + 7 + 5w

Combine like terms; we have

14w + 4w^2 + 17

Standard form: 4w^2 + 14w + 17

Degree of the polynomial is, 2

Number of terms: 3 ( so, this is trinomial)
