The x-intercept is -6

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the x-intercept, we put y = 0 and to find the y-intercept we put x = 0

In the given method, x is put equal to zero instead of y as x-intercept had to be found.

Given equation is:

$-2x+3y=12$

$-2x + 3(0) = 12\\-2x +0 = 12\\-2x = 12$

Dividing both sides by -2

$\frac{-2x}{-2} = \frac{12}{-2}\\x = -6$

The x-intercept is -6

Write the nth term of the following sequence in terms of the first term of the sequence.

vovikov84 [41]

Givens

Sequence 2, - 4, 8, -16, 32 ....

First term = a = 2

Problem

Find the nth term

tn = (-1 )^(n -1) * (a)^n answer or

tn = (-1)^(n - 1) * 2^n

where a is defined as the first term (it usually is given that designation).

Try a few to make sure the formula is correct

n = 1

t1 = (-1)^(1 - 1) * 2^1

t1 = (-1)^0 * 2

t1 = 1 * 2 = 2

n =2

t2 = (-1)^(2 - 1) * 2^2 = (-1)^1 * 4 = -4

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of an equilateral triangle = $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} } a^{2}$

Sub in your value of 16ft

A = $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} } *16^{2}$

A = 110.85 $ft^{2}$

The image of the point (4. 9) under a translation is (9. 13). Find the coordinates

gavmur [86]

Answer:

The coordinates of the image are (10,6)

Step-by-step explanation:

Translation

A point located at (x,y), translated by (a,b) maps to the point (x+a,y+b).

If we know the location of the point (x,y) and the location of its image (x',y'), we can know the values of (a,b) by subtracting:

(a,b) = (x',y') - (x,y)

We know the coordinates of the point (4,9) and the coordinates of its image (9,13). Calculate the translation:

(a,b) = (9,13) - (4,9) = (5,4)

If the point (5,2) is translated under the same conditions, then it will map to the point (5,2) + (5,4) = (10,6).

The coordinates of the image are (10,6)
