Let the third side = x.

The sum of any two sides must be greater than the third side

14 + 9 > x

23 > x

14 + x > 9

x > -5

9 + x > 14

x > 5

So 5 < x < 23

What is the y-intercept of the graph of the function f(x) = x2 + 3x + 5?

OLga [1]

Hello there!

How do you find the y-intercept?

Answer: To find the y-intercept, substitute in 0 for x and solve for y

y = x² + 3x + 5

y = (0)² + 3(0) + 5

y = 0 + 0 + 5

y = 5

Thus, the correct answer is option D (0,5)

I really hope this answer is clear enough for you to understand. If you have questions about the answer, please let me know.

As always, I'm glad to be your helper this evening~!

victus00 [196]

Amount of money received when x tickets are sold=$Y

Number of tickets sold=X

Slope of line= $\frac{1}{4}$

And , y- intercept = 8

Equation of line having slope m and y-intercept c is given by,

y = m x + c,

Expressing the above statement in terms of linear equation in two variable i.e a line is

Y = $\frac{1}{4}$ X + 8

A water storage tank has the shape of a cylinder with diameter 14 ft. It is mounted so that the circular cross-sections are vert

4vir4ik [10]

Check the picture below.

neverminding for a few seconds the volume of the cylinder, the percentage in the height used by the water will be the same as the percentage of its volume. We know the total amount or 100% of the height is 14, so what is 11 in percentage?

$\begin{array}{ccll} amount&\%\\ \cline{1-2} 14&100\\ 11&x \end{array}\implies \cfrac{14}{11}=\cfrac{100}{x}\implies 14x=1100 \\\\\\ x = \cfrac{1100}{14}\implies x = \cfrac{550}{7}\implies \boxed{x \approx 78.6}$
