As points, x-intercepts take the form (x,0), so to find the intercepts we can set y=0 and solve for x.

x\ln(x+e)=0\implies\begin{cases}x=0\\\ln(x+e)=0\end{cases}

From the first equation alone, we already know that x=0 is a solution, which means one intercept is (0,0).

The second equation gives

\ln(x+e)=0\implies e^{\ln(x+e)}=e^0\implies x+e=1\implies x=1-e

so that the second intercept occurs at (1-e,0).

So if a=0 and b=1-e, we have a+b=1-e, giving C as the answer.

Semmy [17]

Answer:

y = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

You would plug in the value given for x into the function given.

\frac{1}{3}(18) + 10

Type that into a calculator and this would give you the output, which would be the value for Y.

The value for Y is 16.

Hope this helps.

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

  25

Step-by-step explanation:

Each of the 16 "ratio units" representing all 80 dancers must stand for ...

  (80 dancers)/(16) = 5 dancers

Then 5 "ratio units" representing seventh-grade dancers will stand for ...

  5 × 5 dancers = 25 dancers

___

Another way to figure this is to write the proportion ...

  (seventh-grade dancers)/(all dancers) = 5/16

  seventh-grade dancers = (all dancers)×(5/16) = 80×5/16

  seventh-grade dancers = 25
