X - Intercept: f(x) = x³ + 2x ²- 9x - 18
                         0 = x³ + 2x² - 9x - 18
                         0 = x²(x) + x²(2) - 9(x) - 9(2)
                         0 = x²(x + 2) - 9(x + 2)
                         0 = (x² - 9)(x + 2)
                         0 = (x² - 3x + 3x - 9)(x + 2)
                         0 = (x(x) - x(3) + 3(x) - 3(3))(x + 2)
                         0 = (x(x - 3) + 3(x - 3))(x + 2)
                         0 = (x + 3)(x - 3)(x + 2)
                   x + 3 = 0    or    x - 3 = 0    or    x + 2 = 0
                       - 3  - 3             + 3 + 3               - 2  - 2
                         x = -3               x = 3                  x = -2
Solution set: {±3, -2} or {-3, 3, 2}

Y - Intercept: f(x) = x³ + 2x² - 9x - 18
                      f(x) = (0)³ + 2(0)² - 9(0) - 18
                      f(x) = 0 + 2(0) - 0 - 18
                      f(x) = 0 + 0 - 18
                      f(x) = 0 - 18
                      f(x) = -18

You invested $6000 between two accounts paying 3% and 9% annual interest, respectively. If the total interest earned for the yea
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

$1,000 and $5,000

Step-by-step explanation:

let the 2 amounts be x and y (which add  to $6,000)

i.e,

x + y = 6000 -----------(eq1)

assume x is invested at 3% and y is invested at 9%

Assuming simple interest, the following formula is applicable.

I = Prt

where

P = principal ( i.e either $x or $y)

r = rate (i.e 3% or 9%)

t = time elapsed (given as 1 year)

since t = 1 year, the equation reduces to

I = Pr

For $x invested at 3% (i.e 0.03) ---> I = 0.03x

For $y invested at 9% (i.e 0.09) ---> I = 0.09y

given that the total interest for the year = $480,

0.03x + 0.09y = 480   (multiplying both sides by 100)

3x + 9y = 48,000 ---------(eq2)

solving the system of equations made up of eq 1 and eq 2 by elimination,

eq 1 x 3

3x + 3y = 18,000 ------(eq 3)

eq2 - eq3

9y - 3y = 48,000 - 18,000

6y = 30,000

y = 30,00 / 6 = $5,000 (answer)

substitute y = 5,000 into eq 1.

x + 5000 = 6000

x = $1,000 (answer)

Trey is buying peach and blueberry yogurt cups. He will buy at most 8 cups of yogurt. Let x be the number of peach yogurt cups a
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

8 ≤ x + y

Step-by-step explanation:

First you need to consider what is in the problem.

max number of cups = 8

x = number of peach cups

y = number of blueberry cups

Using this information, create an inequality that represents the situation

8 ≤ total number of cups

total number of cups = x + y

8 ≤ x + y

This is therefore the most representative equation for the situation.
