Answer:

y-intercept of the line is, -6

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope intercept form:

The equation of line is given by:

$y = mx+b$ ....[1]

where,

m is the slope of the line

b is the y-intercept.

As per the statement:

Given the equation:

$y = 3x-6$

we can write this as:

$y =3x+(-6)$

On comparing with [1] we have;

m = 3 and b = -6

Therefore, the y-intercept of the line is, -6

This is a line in the form y = mx + b, where b is the y intercept. In your equation above, 3 is the slope, the m value, and -6 is the y-intercept, the b value.

Answer:

The factor form of given expression is (x-4)(x-2i)(x+2i).

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is

$x^3-4x^2+4x-16$

It can be written as

$f(x)=x^3-4x^2+4x-16$

According to the rational root theorem, all possible rational roots are in the form of

$\frac{a_0}{a_n}$

Where, a₀ is constant term and $a_n$ is leading coefficient.

$f(4)=4^3-4(4)^2+4(4)-16=0$

Since the value of f(x) is 0 at x=4, therefore 4 is a root of the function and (x-4) is a factor of given expression.

Use synthetic method to find the remaining factors.

$(x^3-4x^2+4x-16)=(x-4)(x^2+4)$

$(x^3-4x^2+4x-16)=(x-4)(x^2-(2i)^2)$

$(x^3-4x^2+4x-16)=(x-4)(x-2i)(x+2i)$

Therefore the factor form of given expression is (x-4)(x-2i)(x+2i).

The perimeter of an isosceles triangle is 32 inches. If the base is longer than half of the two other equal sides by 2 inches, f

Leona [35]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let equal sides of an isosceles triangle = a inches

Base = $\frac{1}{2}a+2$ inches

Perimeter = 32 inches

a + a + $\frac{1}{2}a+2$ = 32

$2a + \frac{1}{2}a+2 = 32\\\\\frac{2a*2}{1*2}+\frac{1}{2}a+2=32\\\\\frac{4a}{2}+\frac{1}{2}a+2=32\\\\\frac{5}{2}a+2 = 32\\\\$

Subtract 2 from both sides

$\frac{5}{2}a=32-2\\\\\frac{5}{2}a=30\\\\a=30*\frac{2}{5}\\\\a=6*2$

a = 12 inches

base = $\frac{1}{2}*12+2$

= 6 + 2

Base = 8 inches
