Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Let first number = x

Second number = y

Twice a number = 2*x = 2x

The sum of twice a number and another number is 24

2x + y  = 24    -----------------------(I)

The difference of twice the first number and the  other number is 12.

2x - y = 12 ----------------------(II)

Add equation (I) & (II)  and y will be eliminated and we can find the number 'x'

(I)       2x + y = 24

(II)      <u>2x - y  = 12</u>   {Now add the two equations}

          4x      = 36

Divide both sides by 4

4x/4 = 36/4

x = 9

Plug in the value of 'x' in equation (I)

2*9 + y = 24

 18 + y = 24

Subtract 18 from both sides

18 + y - 18 = 24 - 18

       y = 6

The numbers are 9, 6

Determine the intercepts of the line. yy y y -intercept: (\Big( ( left parenthesis ,, , comma )\Big) ) right parenthesis xx x x
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Question:

Give all the x and y intercept of the function

f(x) = \frac{3x^2 - 3x-60}{2x^3 + 2x^2-34x+30}

Answer:

The x intercepts are x = 5 and x = -4

The y intercept is at y = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Factorizing the numerator of the expression we find the x intercepts as follows;

f(x) = \frac{3x^2 - 3x-60}{2x^3 + 2x^2-34x+30} =\frac{3(x-5)(x+4)}{2x^3 + 2x^2-34x+30}

Therefore, the x intercept are

x = 5 and x = -4

To find the y intercept, we put x = 0 to get y = -2

Therefore, the y intercept is at y = -2

Factorizing the denominator we find the values for which the equation is undefined

2·x³ + 2·x² - 34·x + 30 = 2·(x-1)·(x-3)·(x+5) which gives

x = 1, 3 and -5.
