The x-intercepts of this function are -11 and -1.

The easiest way to find the intercepts of this graph is by factoring. To factor a quadratic, we look for factors of the last number, that add up to the middle number. Below are the factors of the last number.

1 and 11

-1 and -11

Now we look for one that adds up to positive 12.

1 and 11

-1 and -11

Since these two add up to the middle number, we can use them in parenthesis with x + and factor. If there was not a pair, we would then have to use the quadratic equation.

f(x) = (x + 1)(x + 11)

Now to solve for the x-intercepts, we set each parenthesis equal to 0 and solve for x.

x + 1 = 0

x = -1

x + 11 = 0

x = -11

What is the remainder of 10^2017 divided by 1001?

pashok25 [27]

Note: When I use the double equal sign, I mean the triple bar used with modular arithmetic

10^3 = 1000 == -1 (mod 1001)
10^3 == -1 (mod 1001)
(10^3)^672 == (-1)^672 (mod 1001)
(10^(3*672) == 1 (mod 1001)
10^2016 == 1 (mod 1001)
10*10^2016 == 10*1 (mod 1001)
10^2017 == 10 (mod 1001)

Final Answer: 10

Different hotels in a certain area are randomly selected, and their ratings and prices were obtained online. Using technology, w

mash [69]

Answer:

Option C) The symbol y represents the predicted value of price.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

We find a regression equation with x representing the ratings and y representing price.

The equation has a slope of 130 and a y-intercept of 350.

Comparing with the slope intercept form:

$y = mx + c\\\text{where m is the slope and c is the y intercept}$

Thus, we can write the equation as:

$y = 130x + 350$

Here, y is the predicted variable that is the price, c is the price of hotel when a rating of 0 is given.

Thus, symbol y represents:

C) The symbol y represents the predicted value of price.
