Answer: the total number of coupon books sold is 20.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of coupon books that Mario sold.

Let y represent the number of coupon books that Luigi sold.

Apparently, Mario is a much better salesperson, because he sold 4 times as many coupon books as Luigi. This is expressed as

x = 4y

If Luigi sold 12 fewer coupon books than Mario, the expression would be

x = y + 12 - - - - - - - - - - -- -1

Substituting x = 4y into equation 1, it becomes

4y = y + 12

4y - y = 12

3y = 12

y = 12/3

y = 4

x = 4y = 4 × 4

x = 16

The total number of coupon books that the two boys sold is

4 + 16 = 20

In f(x) = 2x2 − 8x − 10, the y-intercept is ? at ? and the x-intercepts are (-1, 0) and ? .

<h2>1.  y-intercept</h2>

\boxed{(0,-10)}

The quadratic function f(x)=2x^22-8x-10 represents a parabola. In fact, the graph of a quadratic function is a special type of U-shaped curve called a parabola. To find the y intercept, we set x=0 as follows:

f(x)=2x^2-8x-10 \\ \\ If \ x=0 \rightarrow f(0)=-10 \\ \\ Then \ y-intercept: \\ \\ (0,-10)

<h2>2.  x-intercepts</h2>

\boxed{(-1,0) \ and \ (5,0)}

To find the other x-intercept, we must set y=0 as follows:

f(x)=2x^2-8x-10 \\ \\ If \ y=0 \rightarrow 2x^2-8x-10=0 \\ \\ Using \ the \ quadratic \ formula: \\ \\ x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a} \\ \\ \therefore x=\frac{-(-8) \pm \sqrt{(-b)^2-4(2)(-10)}}{2(2)} \\ \\ \therefore x_{1}=-1 \ and \ x_{2}=5

Therefore, the other x-intercept is (5,0). You can see both the y-intercept and the x-intercepts in the figure below.

What is the surface area of the figure shown? Plz answer asap
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

264\ cm^{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The surface area of the figure is equal to the lateral face of the triangular pyramid plus the lateral face of the rectangular prism plus the area of the base of the rectangular prism

step 1

Find the lateral face of the triangular prism

The lateral area is equal to the area of its four lateral triangular faces

LA=4(\frac{1}{2}(6)(7))=84\ cm^{2}

step 2

Find the lateral area of the rectangular prism

The lateral area is equal to the perimeter of the base multiplied by the height

LA=(4)(6)(6)=144\ cm^{2}

step 3

Find the area of the base of the rectangular prism

B=(6)(6)=36\ cm^{2}

step 4

Find the surface area

84\ cm^{2}+144\ cm^{2}+36\ cm^{2}=264\ cm^{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

A triangle is a figure with three sides.

Which can be re-written in the if-then form as If  the figure is a triangle then it has three sides.

The elevator has a MAX capacity of 8 people. This means that only 8 or less people can be on the elevator at a time. If c = # of people then c must be less than or equal to 8 as the elevator has a max capacity of 8 people. Hence the mathematical statement would be c ≤ 8

When the inequality sign is facing the "y" the solutions to the set can be found above the line. This could also be checked by graphing.
