What are the x and y-intercepts of the line?

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the y-intercept, plug in x=0 in the original equation. (You want to find what y is when x=0)

2x + 3y = -12

2(0) + 3y = -12 (Plug in x=0)

3y = -12 (2*0=0, so you can ignore that part)

y = -4 (Divide both sides by 3)

This narrows down our choices to either A or B.


To find the x-intercept, plug in y=0 into the original equation. (You want to find what x is when y=0)

2x + 3y = -12

2x + 3(0) = -12 (Plug in y=0)

2x = -12 (3*0=0, so you can ignore that part)

x = -6 (Divide both sides by 2)


If our x intercept is -6 and our y intercept is -4, that makes our answer B.

Is the following expression true or false? Show your work.
Paul [167]

Answer: True

Solution:

Rearrange the equation to the LHS:

[x^2 + 8x + 16] · [x^2 – 8x + 16] - (x^2 – 16)^2 = 0

Factoring  x^2+8x+16

x^2 - 4x - 4x - 16

= (x-4)  •  (x-4)

= = (x+4)2

So now we have an equation

(x + 4)^2 • (x - 4)^2 -  (x^2 - 16)^2  = 0

Step 2: Evaluate the following:

(x+4)2   =    x^2+8x+16

(x-4)2   =    x^2-8x+16  

(x^2-16)2   =    x^4-32x^2+256

(x^2+8x+16)  (x^2-8x+16  ) -  (x^4-32x^2+256 )

0 = 0

Hence True
