Finding the intercepts is a very straight-forward process. First set y = 0 and solve the equation for x. That is your y-intercept! Then go back to the original equation and set x = 0 and solve for y. That is your x-intercept! For a linear equation like this there is only one x-intercept. For any "function" y(x) there can by definition be only one y-intercept.
I attached a picture with the answer, hope this helps :)
Answer:
1.5 units squared
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of a Triangle formula: A = 1/2bh
Pythagorean Theorem: a² + b² = c²
Since you are missing the <em>h </em>to find the area of the triangle, you must use Pythagorean to find the 3rd missing side (it is a right triangle so you can use Pythagorean).
Step 1: Use Pythagorean
2.5² = 1.5² + b²
4 = b²
b = 2
Step 2: Switch variables
b (from Pythagorean) = h (height for Area)
Step 3: Solve for Area
A = 1/2(1.5)(2)
A = 1.5
And you have your final answer.
Synthetic division is used since the equation is of the third degree. The divisors of -3 are 1, -1, 3, +3. So:
| 2 -7 8 -3
<u>1 | 2 -5 3</u>
| 2 -5 3 0
<u> 1 | 2 -3 </u>
2 -3 0
So the factorization is (x-1)² (2x-3)=0. So:
Synthetic division is used since the equation is of the third degree. The divisors of -4 are 1, -1, 2, -2, 4, -4. So:
| 1 -1 0 -4
<u>2 | 2 2 </u>
1 2 2 0
So the factorization is (x-2)(x²+x+2)=0 . When calculating the discriminant of the trinomial, it is concluded that it has no roots since the result is negative. So you only have one solution.
Synthetic division is used since the equation is of the third degree. The divisors of 2 are 1, -1, 2, -2. So:
| 6 7 9 2
<u>-2 | -12 10 -2</u>
6 -5 1 0
So the factorization is (x+2)(6x²-5x+1)=0 . The quadratic equation is solved by the general formula:
Answer:
y=6
Step-by-step explanation:
4(2y-3)-2y=24
Distribute
8y -12 -2y = 24
Combine like terms
6y -12 = 24
Add 12 to each side
6y-12+12 =24+12
6y = 36
6y/6 =36/6
y = 6
