(a/5) - (b/3) = (a/2) - (b/6), solve for a

Mathematics

Gnom [1K]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

a =  -  \frac{10}{17} b

Step-by-step explanation:

(a/5) - (b/3) = (a/2) - (b/6)

+(B/3) + (b/3)

NOTE: use property of equality to isolate <em>b</em> from <em>a</em>

(a/5) = (b/3) + (a/2) - (b/6)

-(a/2) - (a/2)

NOTE: continue to use property of equality to isolate <em>a</em><em> </em>from <em>b</em>

(a/5) - (a/2) = (b/3) - (b/6)

60((a/5) - (a/2)) = ((b/3) - (b/6))60

NOTE: 60 is a common multiple of 5, 2, 3, and 6

12a - 30a = 20b - 10b

NOTE: combine alike terms

-17a = 10b

-17a/-17 = 10b/-17

NOTE: decide by -16 to find what a is equal to

a =  -  \frac{10}{17} b

Which is a y-intercept of the graphed function?
Pie

Answer:

Option C is correct.

The y-intercept of the graphed function is; (0,- 9)

Explanation:

To find the y-intercept of the graphed function:

The point where the graph crosses the y-axis is call y-intercept.

You can also find the y-intercept by looking at the given graph and seeing which point crosses the y-axis also this point will always have an x-coordinate of 0.

End behavior of a polynomial function is the behavior of the graph of function as x approaches +\infty or  -\infty

Also, the degree and the leading coefficient of a polynomial function determine the end behavior of the graphed function.

therefore, the y-intercept of the graphed function is; (0, -9)
