Represent
r=number of rabbits
c=number of chickens
1 rabbit=4 feet and 1 head
1 chicen=2 feet and 1 head

rabbits head+chicen heads=72
1r+1c=72
feet=200
4 times r+2 times c=200
4r+2c=200
divide both sides by 2
2r+c=100


we have
r+c=72
2r+c=100
make first equation negative and add to second equation

-r-c=-72
<u>2r+c=100 +
</u>1r+0c=28

r=28
subsitute
r+c=72
28+c=72
subtract 28
c=44

44 chickens and 28 rabits

Can someone help me understand squares,cubes,and roots with example problems please
erastova [34]

when someone says a number squared or cubed, or to the certain power, it means how many times you multiply the base number by itself that many times, for example

2²= 2 * 2

or 9³ = 9 x 9 x 9

a square root or cube root, is a harder to understand, but still somewhat simple, it basically means how many what number squared or cubed equals this number.

so for example the square root of 9 = 3 because 3 x 3=9

or cube roots for example ∛125= 5 because 5 x 5 x 5

So here is an example one for you. √81.

Answer:

A. The y-intercept of g(x) is less than the y-intercept of f(x).

Step-by-step explanation:

The x-intercept, or when x = 0, of f(x) is -4, the x-intercept of g(x) is -8, so g(x) are neither greater nor equal to f(x), this marks out C and D. The y-intercept, or when y = 0, is in this case f(x) or g(x). The y-intercept of f(x) is 16, the y-intercept of g(x) is 4, so the y-intercept of g(x) is not equal to the y-intercept of f(x), this marks out B. Now to check A, 4 < 16, so y-intercept of g(x) < y-intercept of f(x), the answer is A
