Answer: Choice B) (2,0)

======================================

Set the first piece equal to zero and solve for x

x^2 - 4 = 0

x^2 = 4

x = sqrt(4) or x = -sqrt(4)

x = 2 or x = -2

Keep in mind that the first piece y = x^2-4 is only graphed when x = 2 or larger, so we ignore x = -2. This is one x intercept, but there may be more. Let's check the other graph to see what we get.

----------

Set the second piece equal to zero and solve for x

x-2 = 0

x-2+2 = 0+2

x = 2

We get the same result as above in the prior section. Because of this, the two pieces connect at this junction point.

The x intercept x = 2 leads to the location (2,0). The x intercept always occurs when y = 0.

The graph below shows this.

side note: the red piece y = x^2 - 4 looks linear, but it's actually not a straight line. It's just a really stretched out curve.

At a high school, students can choose between three art electives, four history electives, and five computer electives. Each stu
V125BC [204]

Answer:

\frac{^3C_1\times ^4C_1}{^{12}C_2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Art electives = 3,

History electives = 4,

Computer electives = 5,

Total number of electives = 3 + 4 + 5 = 12,

Since, if a student chooses an art elective and a history elective,

So, the total combination of choosing an art elective and a history elective = ^3C_1\times ^4C_1

Also, the total combination of choosing any 2 subjects out of 12 subjects = ^{12}C_2

Hence, the probability that a student chooses an art elective and a history elective = \frac{\text{Total combination of choosing an art elective and a history}}{\text{ Total combination of choosing any 2 subjects}}

=\frac{^3C_1\times ^4C_1}{^{12}C_2}

Which is the required expression.

An average adult can hear sounds with frequencies between 20 waves per second and 16,000 waves per second. What is the wavelengt
frez [133]

Answer:

The wavelength, of a sound wave with a frequency of 20 waves per second is 15,000,000 m.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we have to calculate the wavelength of a sound wave of frequency 20 waves per second.

We know that  the speed of light in air/ vacuum is 3\times 10^{8}.

Now by the formula v = nλ , where v = speed of light in air/vacuum, n = frequency of the wave and λ = wavelength in meters,

we put the values

3\times 10^{8} = 20 × λ

λ = \frac{3\times 10^{8}}{20}

λ = 15,000,000 m

snow_lady [41]

Answer:

60 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

A quadrilateral is a four-sided polygon, meaning that all four interior angles have to add up to 360 degrees. You already know that the other three angles add up to 300, so the last angle has to be 60 degrees.
