Where does the graph of y=2x2-x-3 cross as the x-axis?

This can be determined by finding the x-intercept. In doing so, we let y=0 to find the value of x.

y= 2x^2 -x -3
[0 = 2x^2 -x-3]÷2
0 = x^2 -1/2 x - 3/2

Complete the squares:

1/16 + 3/2 = x^2 - 1/2x + 1/16
25/16 = (x -1/4)^2
sqrt (25/16) = x - 1/4
+/- 5/4 = x - 1/4

Thus,
x = 1/4 + 5/4 = 3/2
x = 1/4 - 5/4 = -1

Thus, the graph crosses at x = 3/2 and x = -1.

A Ferris wheel has a diameter of 56 ft. how far will a rider travel during a 4-minute ride if the wheel rotates once every 20 se
Luba_88 [7]
First calculate the circumference. Usually this is the diameter times pi, but since we are told to estimate pi, the circumference equals 56 * 22/7 or 176 feet.
In 4 minutes, 4 * 60 = 240 seconds pass. In this time, a 20 second period will occur 240/20 = 12 times.
So we know that the rider rotates 12 times and each rotation takes them 176 feet, meaning that they will travel 12 * 176 =  2112 feet
