An x-intercept is namely a "solution" or "zero" or "root" often called, and when that happens, y = 0, just like with any other x-intercept.

so what is its x-intercept anyway?
Answer:
f(x) = - 2(x - 3)² + 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
f(x) = - 2x² + 12x - 16 ( factor out - 2 from the first 2 terms )
= - 2(x² - 6x) - 16
To complete the square
add/subtract ( half the coefficient of the x- term)² to x² - 6x
f(x) = - 2(x² + 2(- 3)x + 9 - 9) - 16
= - 2(x - 3)² + 18 - 16
= - 2(x - 3)² + 2
Answer:
Neither parallel nor perpendicular
Step-by-step explanation:
I'm assuming you meant line k is y = 3x -2. If not, this is wrong.
For this, you need to put both lines in point-slope form, or the form that line k is already in. This means you only need to convert line m.
-2r + 6v = 18
6v = 2r + 18
v = 2/6r + 18/6
v = 1/3r + 3
Now you can answer the question.
To be parallel, lines must have the same slope (but a different y-intercept). 3 and 1/3 are not the same, so the lines are not parallel.
To be perpendicular, one line must have the opposite reciprocal (fraction flipped and + goes to - or - to +) of the other. While 3 is the reciprocal of 1/3, they are both positive, so they are not perpendicular.
To be the same line, the equations must be absolutely identical, which they aren't.
This leaves the last option: neither.
Let me know if you need a more in-depth explanation of anything here! I'm happy to help!
Let the actual value of the stool be x.
So if the carpenter sells the stool x rupees he neither loses, now wins anything.
67.50 is the value x - 10% of x, that is:
67.50=x-0.1x
67.50=0.9x
x=67.50/0.9=75 (rupees) is the actual value of the stool.
Selling the stool for 82.50 rupees, the carpenter clearly would make a profit, say of y% of that actual value, that is y%*75.
So using the same method:
82.50=75+y%*75
y%*75=82.50-75=7.5
we can make the calculations, but clearly 7.5 is 10% of 75
Answer: 10% gain.
