Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Y intercept:

Simply substitute all the x values with 0:

When x = 0:

3(0) - 2y = 18

Move the - 2y over to the other side making it a +2y:

0 = 18 + 2y

Move the +18 over to the other side making it a -18:

-18 = 2y

Divide both sides by 2:

$\frac{-18}{2} = \frac{2y}{2}$

-9 = y

So y intercept is:

X - intercept:

Simply substitute all the Y's with 0:

3x - 3(0) = 18

3x = 18

Divide both sides by 3:

$\frac{3x}{3} = \frac{18}{3}$

x = 6

So the X intercept is:

This means that your guess of B is correct.

Answer:

B) → x-intercept = (6, 0) and y-intercept = (0, -9.)

First, we'll work with y, where we'll substitute x by 0:

3(0) - 2y = 18

0 - 2y = 18

-2y = 18 + 0

-2y = 18

y = 18 / -2

y = -9 → y-intercept = 0, -9 ←

↑ Many people wonder where the "0" comes from, and it's just the place where the x-intercept value would be placed in a system of equations.

Second, we'll work with x, following the same method as before, this time, substituting y by 0:

3x - 2(0) = 18

3x - 0 = 18

3x = 18 + 0

3x = 18

x = 18 / 3

x = 6 → x-intercept = 6, 0 ←

↑ Same here. The "0" is just the place where the y-intercept value would be, if we were working with a system of equations.

Hope it helped

Carly has 15 stuffed animals. How many ways are there to organize her top 3 favorites?

Ivanshal [37]

Well, the answer will depend on whether the order will count or not (based on Permutations and Combinations). <em>If the order counts</em>, then we would use the formula for Permutations, which is:
$\frac{n!}{(n-r)!}$
Where n is the number of items you have, and r is the number of times you choose from the items.
$\frac{15!}{(15-3)!}$
Which simplifies to
$\frac{15!}{(12)!}$
Which simplifies to 15*14*13 (because all the numbers 1-12 in the factorial canceled out), which gets us the answer 2730.

Now, if you wanted to find the number of ways to order the toys without replacement (<em>order doesn't count</em>), you would use the formula:
$\frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}$
The variables are still the same, but you are now multiplying by r!.
$\frac{15!}{3!(15-3)!}$
Simplifies to
$\frac{15!}{3!(12)!}$
Which simplifies to (using the same cancellation method above)
$\frac{2730}{3!}$
Dividing 2730 by 3! will get us an answer of 455.

Really, it depends on whether they are ordered or not. In this case (since you didn't specify whether the order mattered), the answer would be 455 or 2730.

Question is in the picture<br>please help

LiRa [457]

When given the graph of a function, the domain would include all the points that there is a graph. The strategy is to find what <em>is not</em> included.

What we are looking for are points of discontinuity. Think of it as when you remove your pencil from the paper.

From left to right, the graph stops at x = -3. So anything less than -3 is in the domain. Next, the graph starts up again at x =-1 after an asymptote (the vertical dashed lines). This piece goes to x = 4. So our domain is from -1 to 4.

Lastly, there's a jump from 4 to 5 and the graph goes on again. After 5, we take all the stuff more than it. So x > 5 is in the domain.

So x < -3, - 1 < x < 4, and x > 5 appears to be our domain. However, end points needed to be checked to see if we include them or not. Again we go left to right.

At x = -3 there is a filled (or closed) circle and that means we include -3.

At x = -1 there is an asymptote. Asymptotes are things you get close to but don't get to. (Think of it as the "I'm Not Touching" game you play on car trips.) So we exclude -1.

At x = 4 there is an unfilled (or open) circle and that means we exclude 4.

At x = 5 there is a filled circle so we include 5.

Now we refine our domain for the endpoints.

x ≤ -3, -1 < x < 4, x ≥ 5 is our domain.

The problem gives us intervals, and we gave it in inequalities. When we include an endpoint we use brackets - [ and } and when we exclude and endpoint we use parentheses - ( and ). Let's go back to x ≤ -3. Anything less works, and -3 is included (closed circle). That interval is (-∞, -3]. Next is the piece between -1 and 4. Since both are excluded, (-1,4) is our interval. We include 5 to write x ≥5 as the interval [5,∞).

Put the bolded ones all together and use the union, ∪, symbol to connect them, since something on the graph could be in any piece.

Our domain is (-∞, -3] ∪(-1,4) ∪ [5,∞).

Azlyn can ride her horse 15.2 miles per hour. She is in an endurance race that is 76 miles

Tema [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember, math is a language

when you see per think fractions

15.2 miles per hour = 15.2 miles / 1 hour

since this is a fraction, Units can cancel just like numbers

To cancel miles and be left with hours rearrange the fraction

1 hour / 15.2 miles

then multiply by 72 miles

$\frac{1hour}{15.2miles} \times 72miles$

the miles cancel and youre left with hours!

so youd write and solve 72 / 15.2

Please help me!! (Look at the photo)

maw [93]

Answer:

310in

Step-by-step explanation:

7×10=70

70×2=140(there are two that are the same length)

5×10=50

50×2=100(there are two that are the same length)

5×7=35

35×2=70(there are two that are the same length)

70+100=170

170+140=310

please let me know if it's correct
