Can someone please explain to me how I'm supposed to solve 2x+y=12? Like step by step solving?

Well, first put the function in slop-intercept form (y = mx + b). 2x + y = 12, y - 2x = 12 - 2x, y = -2x + 12. So y = -2x + 12 is the slope-intercept form. Then graph the function to solve for all possible solutions to the function. In y = mx + b, m is the slope and b is the y intercept. In y = -2x + 12, m equals -2, so the slope is -2, and b equals 12, so 12 is the y intercept. Make a point on the y intercept at y = 12. The slope is -2, or -2/1. The graph will be sloping downward. From the point at y = 12, move down two units and to the right one unit and make another point. Then from this new point move down two units and to the right one unit and make another point, and so on. Then to extend the graph in the other direction, start at the point y = 12 and move two units up and one unit to the right and make a point there. Then from this new point move two units up and one unit to the right and make another point there, and so on.

Answer:

Discarding the influential outlying cases when detected is also known as flagging outliers in a data set, and this is because outliers do not follow the rest of the dataset's pattern. if this outliers are not discarded they would have a negative effect on any model attached to the dataset

Answer:

7.5 ft
32.5 ft, 5 ft
10.7 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The starting height is h(0) = 7.5 feet, the constant in the quadratic function.

The irrigation system is positioned 7.5 feet above the ground

b) The axis of symmetry for quadratic ax^2 +bx +c is x = -b/(2a). For this quadratic, that is x=-10/(2(-1)) = 5. This is the horizontal distance to the point of maximum height. The maximum height is ...

h(5) = (-5 +10)(5) +7.5 = 32.5 . . . feet

The spray reaches a maximum height of 32.5 feet at a horizontal distance of 5 feet from the sprinkler head.

c) The maximum distance will be √32.5 + 5 ≈ 10.7 ft.

The spray reaches the ground at about 10.7 feet away.
