Answer:

The x-intercepts will be, x= 7 or x =9

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)= x^2 -16x+63

At the x-intercept, f(x) is zero.

Therefore;

x² - 16x + 63 = 0

solving it quadratically;

product = 63

Sum = -16

x² - 9x - 7x + 63 = 0

x(x-9) - 7( x-9) = 0

(x-7) (x-9) = 0

x = 7 or x = 9

Therefore;

The x-intercepts will be, x= 7 or x =9

Answer:

(7, 0) and (9, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

The x-intercepts refers to the points where the graph of the function crosses the x-axis, or simply the zeroes of the function. In this case, we can determine these points analytically or graphically. We simply graph the function;

y = x^2 -16x +63 then determine where the function crosses the x-axis; see the attachment below;

The x-intercepts of this function are;

(7, 0) and (9, 0)

2,000 water bottles are being labeled and boxed. Each box holds 6 water bottles. How many bottles will be left over?

kap26 [50]

We just have to divide 2,000 by 6
lets do the math:)
2,000 ÷ 6 = 333.333333333
So if we round this it becomes 2

A cashier has a total of 30 bills consisting of ones, fives and twenties. the number of twenties is 5 less than the number of on

Varvara68 [4.7K]

Let us say that:

a = ones

b = fives

c = twenties

So that the total money is:

1 * a + 5 * b + 20 * c = 229

=> a + 5b + 20c = 229 --> eqtn 1

We are also given that:

c = a – 5 --> eqtn 2

a + b + c = 30 --> eqtn 3

Rewriting eqtn 3 in terms of b:

b = 30 – a – c

Plugging in eqtn 2 into this:

b = 30 – a – (a – 5)

b = 35 – 2a --> eqtn 4

Plugging in eqtn 2 and 4 into eqtn 1:

a + 5(35 – 2a) + 20(a – 5) = 229

a + 175 – 10a + 20a – 100 = 229

11a = 154

a = 14

So,

b = 35 – 2a = 7

c = a – 5 = 9

Therefore there are 14 ones, 7 fives, and 9 twenties.

A marker costs $0.99. A pad of paper costs $1.25 more than the marker, which is a more reasonable estimate for the total cost of

andrew11 [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Because you have to also think about tax of the item. Plus add them both up and it costs $2.24 without tax. Which means it's already above $2.

There are six teachers in a room, ages, 40, 50, 45, 55, and 65. If a 29 year old teacher enters the room, how will the mean age

klasskru [66]

The old mean was 51 now the mean is 42.33... (round that to 42) 51 - 42 = 9

If the line passing through the points (a, 1) and (−17, 8) is parallel to the line passing through the points (0, 5) and (a + 2,

stellarik [79]

Parallel line means the same slope
（8-1）/(-17-a)=(1-5)/(a+2)
so a is 18
