to find the x-intercept of a function, we simply set y = 0 and then solve for "x", so, let's first find the equation of it and then set y = 0.


\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{-12}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{16})~\hspace{10em} slope = m\implies-\cfrac{2}{3} \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-16=-\cfrac{2}{3}[x-(-12)] \\\\\\ y-16=-\cfrac{2}{3}(x+12)\implies \stackrel{\stackrel{y}{\downarrow }}{0}-16=-\cfrac{2}{3}x-8\implies -8=-\cfrac{2x}{3} \\\\\\ -24=-2x\implies \cfrac{-24}{-2}=x\implies 12=x \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ ~\hfill (12,0) ~\hfill

What is the probability of losing 6 times in a row playing Heads or Tails flipping a coin?
slava [35]
The probability of losing per flip is 1/2. Multiply 1/2 by itself 6 times since the condition is asking for the probability for the person to lose 6 times in a row. 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/64. The answer is 1/64.

Noah says that 9X minus 2X plus 4X is equivalent to 3X because the subtraction sign tells us to subtract everything that comes a
lesantik [10]

Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that Noah thinks :

9x - 2x + 4x = 3x   as the subtraction sign after 9x tells us to subtract everything that comes after 9x.

This is wrong as according to the BODMAS rule, we have to do the addition operation first and then followed by subtraction operation.

That is

⇒ 9x - 2x + 4x

⇒ (9x -2x)+ 4x

⇒ 7x + 4x

⇒ 11x

Therefore the answer to the equation is 11x and not 3x.

Complete the table of values for this absolute value function. Then use the drawing tool(s) to graph the function. F(x)-2|x+1|-1
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

Please check the explanation!

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation

f\left(x\right)=-2|x+1|-1

As some of the absolute rules are:

  • \left|a\right|=a,\:a\ge 0
  • \:|-a|=a,\:\quad \:a>0

NOW, let us solve!

Let us substitute all the table values

Putting x = -4

y=-2\left|-4+1\right|-1        ∵\mathrm{Apply\:absolute\:rule}:\quad \left|a\right|=a,\:a\ge 0

y=-6-1

y=-7

So, when x = -4, then y = -7

Putting x = -3

y=-2|-3+1|-1\:

y=-4-1

y=-5

when x = -3, then y = -5

Putting x = -2

y=-2\left|-2+1\right|-1

y=-2-1

y=-3

when x = -2, then y = -3

Putting x = -1

y=-2\left|-1+1\right|-1

y=-0-1

y=-1

when x = -1, then y = -1

Putting x = 0

y=-2\left|0+1\right|-1

y=-2-1

y=-3

when x = 0, then y = -3

Putting x = 1

y=-2\left|1+1\right|-1

y=-4-1

y=-5

when x = 1, then y = -5

The graph is also attached below.
