Answer:

see the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the number of males on the elevator

y ----> the number of females on the elevator

we know that

The inequality that represent this situation is

180x+150y\leq 2,700

The solution of the inequality is the shaded area below the solid line 180x+150y=2,700

The slope of the solid line is negative

The y-intercept of the solid line is (0,18)

The x-intercept of the solid line is (15,0)

see the attached figure

The solution is the triangular shaded area

The maximum number of females is 18 (when the number of males is zero)

The maximum number of males is 15 (when the number of females is zero)

Find all x and y intercepts of the graph of the function f(x)= 2x^3+6x^2-2x-6
topjm [15]

Answer:

  • y-intercept: (0, -6)
  • x-intercepts: (-3, 0), (-1, 0), (1, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

We notice the first pair of coefficients is the same as the last pair (with the sign changed). This means we can factor by grouping.

  f(x) = (2x^3 +6x^2) -(2x +6)

  f(x) = 2x^2(x +3) -2(x +3)

  f(x) = 2(x^2 -1)(x +3) = 2(x -1)(x +1)(x +3)

The factors are made to be zero when x is 1, -1, or -3.

The x-intercepts are (1, 0), (-1, 0), (-3, 0).

The y-intercept is the constant, -6.
