Answer:

y-intercept in the equation is, A base salary.

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope intercept form:

The equation of line is given by:

y = mx+c              ....[1]

where, m is the slope and c is the y-intercept.

Given the equation:

y = 0.1x + 20,000

where, x is the number of units and y is the salary

Comparing with equation [1] we have;

m = 0.1

y(0)= c = 20000

Therefore, the meaning of the y-intercept in the equation is, a base salary.

A superhero is trying to leap over a tall building. The function f(x)=-16x^2+200x gives the superhero's height in feet as a func
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

Since \bigtriangleup \geq 0, the superhero makes it over the building.

Step-by-step explanation:

The height is given by the following function:

f(x) = -16x^{2} + 200x

Will the superhero make it over the building?

We have to find if there is values of x for which f(x) = 612.

Solving a quadratic equation:

Given a second order polynomial expressed by the following equation:

ax^{2} + bx + c, a\neq0.

This polynomial has roots x_{1}, x_{2} such that ax^{2} + bx + c = a(x - x_{1})*(x - x_{2}), given by the following formulas:

x_{1} = \frac{-b + \sqrt{\bigtriangleup}}{2*a}

x_{2} = \frac{-b - \sqrt{\bigtriangleup}}{2*a}

\bigtriangleup = b^{2} - 4ac

If \bigtriangleup < 0, the polynomial has no solutions.

In this question:

f(x) = -16x^{2} + 200x

-16x^{2} + 200x = 612

16x^{2} - 200x + 612 = 0

We have to find \bigtriangleup

We have that a = 16, b = -200, c = 612. So

\bigtriangleup = (-200)^{2} - 4*16*612 = 832

Since \bigtriangleup \geq 0, the superhero makes it over the building.

How can you prove a triangle is an equilateral triangle? (4 points)
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

A would be correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Just show that triangles AOB,BOC,COA are all congruent (then all the sides of triangle ABC must be equal). To show this, note that triangles A′BO,A′OC are equilateral since they are all radius of the circles. Line OA′ is perpendicular to line BC. Hence, ∠OBC=∠OCB=30∘.

n200080 [17]

Answer:

1530

Step-by-step explanation:

We already know that 5 hours is 510 miles and to know how much is 15 hours you will add 510 3 times 510 + 510 + 510 what 1530 would give
