Yes, because the center is on the x-axis, the circle will intersect 2 times, at x=1 and at x=3

Answer:

Yes, twice

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation will intersect the x-axis when y = 0, so we have

x² - 4x = -3 now solve this quadratic for x...

x² - 4x + 3 = 0

factor...

(x - 3)(x - 1) = 0,

so at x = 1 and x = 3, the function crosses the x-axis

1st. (2 root 2 + root 3 ) ( 2 root 3 - root 2)

satela [25.4K]

Answer:

1st: 3*root6 + 5

2nd: 35*root2 + 115

3rd: 24*root2 - 20*root6 + 15*root3 - 18

4th: 17*root6 - 38

5th: 13*root10 - 42

Step-by-step explanation:

To simplify these expressions we need to use the distributive property:

(a + b) * (c + d) = ac + ad + bc + bd

So simplifying each expression, we have:

1st.

(2 root 2 + root 3 ) ( 2 root 3 - root 2)

= 4*root6 - 2*2 + 2*3 - root6

= 3*root6 - 4 + 9

= 3*root6 + 5

2nd.

(root 5 + 2 root 10) (3 root 5 + root 10)

= 3 * 5 + root50 + 6*root50 + 2*10

= 15 + 5*root2 + 30*root2 + 100

= 35*root2 + 115

3rd.

(4 root 6 - 3 root 3) (2 root 3 - 5)

= 8*root18 - 20*root6 - 6*3 + 15root3

= 24*root2 - 20*root6 + 15*root3 - 18

4rd.

(6 root 3 - 5 root 2 ) (2 root 2 - root 3)

= 12*root6 - 6*3 - 10*2 + 5*root6

= 17*root6 - 18 - 20

= 17*root6 - 38

5th.

(root 10 - 3 ) ( 4 - 3 root 10)

= 4*root10 - 3*10 - 12 + 9*root10

= 13*root10 - 30 - 12

= 13*root10 - 42

I need help bruv. For the function y=x^2 - 5x - 6 .

lara [203]

Answer:

a. Vertex = (2.5,-12.25)

b. y-intercept = (0,-6)

c. x-intercept = (6,0) ; (-1,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

Your equation is written as:

$y = ax^{2} + bx +c$

The easiest way to find the vertex is writing the equation this way:

$y = a(x-h)^{2}+k$

Being the vertex (h,k)

So first complete the square

$y = x^{2} -5x -6 \\y = x^{2} - 2(2.5x) -6 \\y = x^{2} - 2(2.5x) +2.5^{2} - 2.5^{2} -6 \\y = (x^{2} -2(2.5x) + 2.5^{2}) -6.25 - 6 \\y = (x-2.5)^{2} -12.25$

Vertex : (2.5,-12.25)

To find the y-intercept you need to replace the equation when x = 0 and get y

$y = (0)^{2} - 5(0) -6\\y = - 6$

To find the x-intercept you need to replace the equation when y = 0 and get x

$0 = x^{2} - 5x -6 \\0 = (x-6)(x+1)\\x = 6\\x = -1$

How many 3-digit numbers can you write using only the digits 1 and 2?

defon

For the first digit, you have two possible choices: 1 or 2. For *each* of those choices, you can choose 1 or 2 for the second digit in the number, and for each of *those*, you can choose 1 or 2 for the third digit of the number.

That’s 2 * 2 * 2 or 8 possible 3-digit numbers you can make with the digits 1 and 2.

For pigs, the length of pregnancies varies according to a normal distribution with a mean of 114 days and a standard deviation o

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer: The length of approximately 68% of all pig pregnancies will fall between 109 days and 119 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the empirical rule , 68% of the population falls within one standard deviations from the mean.

Given : For pigs, the length of pregnancies varies according to a normal distribution with a mean of 114 days and a standard deviation of 5 days.

According to the Empirical Rule, the length of approximately 68% of all pig pregnancies will fall between $114-1(5)$ days and $114+1(5)$ days .

i.e. the length of approximately 68% of all pig pregnancies will fall between 109 days and 119 days.
