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

Use the pythagoren theorem to solve x
defon
Well the equation is (A^2)+(B^2)=(C^2)

A= x
B= 2x
C will always be the longest side because it is the Hypotenuse = 25

So if you plug in those numbers into the equation...

(x^2) + (2x^2) = (25^2)

x^2 + 4x^2 = 625

Combine like terms

5x^2 = 625

Divide by five to both sides

x^2 = 125

Then Square root,

x = sqrt(125)

x = sqrt(25* 5)

x = 5sqrt(5)

Which of the following linear equations represents the data chart?
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer: y = -x + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope is \frac{5-6}{2-1}=-1, so we know the equation is of the form y=-x+b.

Substituting in the coordinates (1,6) to find b,

6=-1+b\\\\b=7

Thus, the equation is y = -x + 7
