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.

A student concluded that the inequality -3+2y<4x is equivalent to the inequality y>2x+3/2, as shown below. Describe and co
svlad2 [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

-3+2y<4x

then

2y< 4x+ 3 (add both sides with 3)

y < 2x +3/2 ( divide both sides by 2 that is positif and we do not change the sens < )

Hope you understand.

One number is 6 times another number. it is also 12 more than twice the other number. Find the numbers.
stepan [7]

The numbers are 3 and 18

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Step 1: Let one number be x. Then the other number = 6x.

Also, 6x = 12 + 2x

⇒ 4x = 12

⇒ x = 3

⇒ 6x = 18
