Yo sup??

The x intercept can be found out by putting y=0 in the equation

2x=12

x=6

the x intercept is 6

similarly the y intercept can be found out by placing x=0

-3y=12

y=-4

the y intercept is -4

Hope this helps

James deposited $575 into a bank account that earned 5.5% simple interest each year. If no money was deposited into or withdrawn

Basile [38]

The answer is $654.06.
5.5% of $575 is $31.63. 575 x 0.055 = 31.63
This means that in one year he earns $31.63. In two years it will be $63.25 (31.63 x 2 = 63.25)
Then in half a year it will be $15.81 (31.63/2 = 15.81)
Finally add 15.81 and 63.25 to get $79.06 which you then add to the initial $575 to get the total amount earned in 2 1/2 years which is $654.06.

Write the equation x2+24x+60=0 in the form (x+p)2=q

navik [9.2K]

Answer:

(x+12)^2=84

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2+24x+60=0

x^2+24x=-60

x^2+24x+(24/2)^2=-60+(24/2)^2

(x+24/2)^2=84

(x+12)^2=84 (ans)

The table below shows field goal statistics for three different kickers

FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

<h2>From least to greatest: C, B and A</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

To order each Kicker correctly, we have to find the success rate of each one, which is obtained by dividing and then multiplying by 100 to obtained the percentage:

$R=\frac{made}{attempted}$

<h3>Success rate of A:</h3>

$R_{A}=\frac{12}{14}.100=86\%$

<h3>Success rate of B:</h3>

$R_{B}=\frac{15}{18}.100=83\%$

<h3>Success rate of C:</h3>

$R_{C}=\frac{19}{24}.100=79\%$

So, comparing all three, from least to greatest we have:

C with 79%, then B with 83%, and A with 86%.

A 20ft ladder is leaning against a house. The bottom of the ladder is 3 ft from the house. To the nearest tenth of a foot, abou

Tasya [4]

Answer: 19.8 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Pythagorean Theorem formula to solve for how high the top of the ladder reach.

The formula says a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Where a and b are the two legs and C is the hypotenuse.

In this situation, the hypotenuse will be length of the ladder , and either a or b will be the length of the ladder from the building or the length of how long the ladder.

a will be 3 , and c will be 20. Input in the values into the formula and solve for b.

3^2 + b^2 = 20^2

9 + b^2 = 400

-9 -9

b^2 = 391

b = $\sqrt{391}$

b = 19.77371 round to the nearest tenth is , 19.8
