Answer:
y = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
Subtracting the right side gives ...
The factor multiplying y cannot be zero, so y must be zero.
Answer:
The midpoint of the x-intercepts of the function is (0, 0)
Step-by-step explanation:
Notice that since the function comes in factor form, we know that its roots (which are actually the intercepts the function has with the x-axis) are: x = 4 and x = -4 (the x-values for which the function renders zero).
These two points are equidistant from the origin of coordinates (0, 0), and therefore the midpoint of these x-intercepts is (0, 0).
Let the number of green apples bought be x
Green apples = x
Red apples = 2x
Yellow apples = 1/3 (2x) = 2/3 x
Total = 22 apples
x + 2x + 2/3 x = 22
11/3 x = 22
11x = 66
x = 6
Green apples = x = 6
Red apples = 2x = 2(6) = 12
Yellow apples = 2/3 (2x) = 2/3 (6) = 4
Answer: Green = 6, Red = 12, Yellow = 4
