First solve for the other angles.
You know one angle is 15º.
The one across from it is also 15º since it is a vertical angle to the known 15º angle.
Both of those together gets 30º.
The whole thing is 360º, so just subtract 30 from 360 and divide.
360 - 30 = 330
Do the same for the 15x angle.
The one under/across to it is a vertical angle so is also 15xº.
Now you are left with 30xº = 330.
Just divide now.
330 / 30 = 11
x = 11
15x = 165

Checking your work:
15x = 165
15x = 165
15
15
Those are the angles.
Add those numbers together and make sure it adds up to 360º.
165 + 165 + 15 + 15 = 360
So this is correct.

Consider the function. What is the y-intercept of f–1(x)? –16 –12

Mekhanik [1.2K]

<h2>Explanation:</h2><h2></h2>

Hello! Remember you have to write clear questions in order to get good and exact answers. Here, I'll assume the function as:

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

The y-intercept of a function is the point at which the graph of the function touches the y-axis. This occurs when we set $x=0$ . In other words, we define the y-intercept (let's call it $b$ as:

$b=f(0)$

Setting $x=0$ in our function we have:

$b=f(0)=(0)^2+2(0)-16 \\ \\ \boxed{b=f(0)=-16}$

So <em>in this context the y-intercept is -16</em>
