Answer:

a) -12.5; the crimes committed goes down by 12.5 every time there are more police officers assigned to patrol.

b) 1200. The number of crimes committed if no police officers were on patrol.

c) 96. The hypothetical number of police officers on duty if no crime were to ever occur.

Step-by-step explanation:

The intercepts are found by substituting 0 for the other variable in the equation.

For example, if you wanted to find the C intercept, all you have to do is make P = 0, so you would end up with C = 1200 - (12.5 * 0), which simplifies down to 1200.

You would apply the same strategy to find the P intercept.

Simplify.<br><br> 2x5 - 6x2 + 4x4y<br> -------------------------<br> 2x
Ede4ka [16]
We have the rational expression \frac{2x^{5}-6x^{2}+4x4y}{2x}; to simplify it, we are going to try to find a common factor in the numerator, and, if we are luckily, that common factor will get rid of the denominator 2x.
Notice that in the denominator all the numbers are divisible by two, so 2 is part of our common factor; also, all the terms have the variable x, and the least exponent of that variable is 1, so x will be the other part of our common factor. Lets put the two parts of our common factor together to get 2x.
Now that we have our common factor, we can rewrite our numerator as follows:
\frac{2x(x^{5}-6x+2(2y)}{2x}
We are luckily, we have 2x in both numerator and denominator, so we can cancel those out:
x^{5}-6x+2(2y)
x^5-6x+4y

We can conclude that the simplified version of our rational function is x^{5}-6x+4y.

Please Help.....'<br><br>Divide. Write your answer to the simplest form.<br><br>5/6 divided by 7/10
belka [17]

Answer:

<u>5/6 ÷ 7/10 = 1 4/21</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>How did we solve the problem above? When we divide two fractions, such as 5/6 ÷ 7/10, we flip the second fraction and then we simply multiply the numerators with each other and the denominator with each other.</u>

<u>We also simplify the answers to fraction problems whenever possible.  hope this helps</u>
