Answer:

x-intercept is (2,0)  [The x-intercept means that it takes 2 hours for the temperature to reach 0°C]

y-intercept is (0, -6)  [The y-intercept represents the temperature at sunrise, -6°C]

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Complete Question:</u>

<em>The air temperature is -6 degrees celcius at sunrise and rises 3 degree celcius every hour for several hours. The air temperature after x hours is represented by the function f(x) = 3x - 6. Find the x-intercept and y-intercept and interpret their meaning.</em>

<em />

  • The x-intercept is the x-axis cutting point found by setting y = 0 [function = 0]
  • The y-intercept is the y-axis cutting point found by setting x = 0

Lets find x-intercept first:

f(x) = 3x - 6

0 = 3x - 6

3x = 6

x = 6/3

x = 2

x-intercept is (2,0)

Now, lets find y-intercept:

f(x) = 3x - 6

f(x) = 3(0) - 6

f(x) = -6

y-intercept is (0, -6)

The x-intercept means that it takes 2 hours for the temperature to reach 0°C

The y-intercept represents the temperature at sunrise, -6°C

Solve 3sinx = 2cos^2x .
goldenfox [79]
3 sin x = 2 ( 1 - sin² x )
3 sin x = 2 - 2 sin² x
2 sin² x + 3 sin x - 2 = 0
Substitution: t = sin x
2 t² + 3 t - 2 = 0
t 1/2 = \frac{-3+/- \sqrt{9+16} }{4} =  \frac{-3+/-5}{4}
t 1 = 1/2
t 2 = - 2 ( this solution is not acceptable )
sin x = 1/2
Answer:
x 1 = π / 6 + 2 kπ,       x 2 = 5 π / 6 + 2 k π,   k ∈ Z

A store sells rakes for 9$ each. if the sale of the rakes totaled 171$ how many rakes were sold
Allisa [31]
You have to get the amount of rakes sold and divide that by nine. So it would be:171 divided by 9 :)
