Answer: After 7 years the number of birds of species A and B are same. and the number of birds during that year will be 140.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: Sharon is conducting research on two species of birds at a bird sanctuary.
The number of birds of species A is represented by the equation below,where S represents the number of birds, x years after beginning her research.
The number of birds of species B is represented by the equation below,where S represents the number of birds, x years after beginning her research.
To plot the above function, first find points by which they are passing.
For species A, At x=0 , 
At x=2 , 
Similarly find more points and plot curve on graph.
For species A, At x=0 , 
At x=2 , 
Plot a line with the help of these two points.
Now, from the graph the intersection of curve (for A) and line (for B) is at (7,140) which tells that After 7 years the number of birds of species A and B are same. and the number of birds during that year will be 140.
7x³ = 28x is our equation. We want its solutions.
When you have x and different powers, set the whole thing equal to zero.
7x³ = 28x
7x³ - 28x = 0
Now notice there's a common x in both terms. Let's factor it out.
x (7x² - 28) = 0
As 7 is a factor of 7 and 28, it too can be factored out.
x (7) (x² - 4) = 0
We can further factor x² - 4. We want a pair of numbers that multiply to 4 and whose sum is zero. The pairs are 1 and 4, 2 and 2. If we add 2 and -2 we get zero.
x (7) (x - 2) (x + 2) = 0
Now we use the Zero Product Property - if some product multiplies to zero, so do its pieces.
x = 0 -----> so x = 0
7 = 0 -----> no solution
x - 2 = 0 ----> so x = 2 after adding 2 to both sides
x + 2 = 0 ---> so = x - 2 after subtracting 2 to both sides
Thus the solutions are x = 0, x = 2, x = -2.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
First, lets put this into y=mx+b form.
You can bring the 13x over to the 14, by subtracting and you get -2y=14-13x, or also -2y = -13x + 14
Then you can divide both sides by -2 to get y, and you get
-2y/-2 = -13x/-2 + 14/-2 which is simplified to y=13/2x + (-7) which is
y=13/2x-7

THIS HAS THE SLOPE IN A IMPROPER FRACTION... CHECK IF YOU USE MIXED NUMBERS OR IMPROPER FRACTIONS
the mixed number form is y = 7 1/2 x -7
Hope this helps!
