Your answer will most likely be A
X^4 - x^2 + 9 - (x^3 + 3x^2 + 12) =
x^4 - x^3 - 4x^2 - 3
Answer: x and y intercepts are where the line crosses over the x and y axis.
Step-by-step explanation:
Your question does not say what were your options, therefore I will answer generically: in order to understand if a point (ordered pair) is contained in a line, you need to substitute the x-component of the pair in the equation of the line and see if the calculations give you the y-component of the pair.
Example:
Your line is <span> y = 4/3x + 1/3
Let's see if <span>(0, 0) and (2, 3) </span>belong to this line
y</span> = <span>4/3·0 + 1/3 = 1/3 </span>≠ 0
Therefore, the line does not contain (0, 0)
y = 4/3·2 + 1/3 = 9/3 = 3
Therefore, the line contains (2, 3)
Solve the first equation for y.
3x+y=2
y=2-3x
Substitute
4x+(2-3x)=20
4x+2-3x=20
x=18
