Determine the key features of a function whose value is defined as six less than triple some quantity. (2 points)

Verdich [7]3 years ago

Answer:

The slope is 3

<em>Hence the x-coordinate of the x- intercept is 2</em>

<em>Hence the y-coordinate of the y- intercept is -6</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

We are to first write the statement  <u>six less than triple some quantity</u> as an expression:

let the quantity be x

Triple the quantity to have 3x

six less than triple some quantity will be expressed 3x - 6

The required function is f(x) = 3x - 6

This is in standard form of equation of a line y = mx+c

m is the slope

c is the y-intercept

Comparing 3x - 6 with mx+c

3x = mx

3 = m

m = 3

The slope is 3

x intercept occurs at when f(x) = 0

Substitute into f(x) = 3x-6

0 = 3x-6

-3x = -6

x = 2

<em>Hence the x-coordinate of the x- intercept is 2</em>

y intercept occurs at when x = 0

Substitute into f(x) = 3x-6

f(x) = 3(0)-6

f(x) = -6

<em>Hence the y-coordinate of the y- intercept is -6</em>

Find the nature of the root
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

1) Real and same.

2) Real and distinct

3) Real and distinct

4) Real and distinct

5) Real and distinct

6) Real and distinct

7) Real and distinct

8) Real and distinct

Step-by-step explanation:

If a quadratic equation is in the form of ax² + bx + c = 0, then Discriminant of the equation D = b² - 4ac, which governs the nature of roots the equation has.

If D > 0, then there will be two different real roots.

If D = 0, then two same and real roots.

If D < 0, then two distinct but imaginary roots.

Now, 1) x² + 6x + 9 = 0 has D = 6² - 4 × 9 × 1 = 0. So, there will be two same and real roots.

2) 5x² - x = 4x² + 2

⇒ x² - x - 2 = 0

It has D = (-1)² - 4 × 1 × (-2) = 9. Therefore, the roots will be two distinct and real.

3) \frac{2}{x} + \frac{3}{x} = x - 4

⇒ 5 = x² - 4x

⇒ x² - 4x - 5 = 0.

So, D = (-4)² - 4 × (1) × (- 5) = 36. So, the equation has two real and distinct rools.

4) x(x - 5) = 4(5 - x)

⇒ x² - x - 20 = 0

Hence, D = (-1)² - 4 × 1 × (-20) = 81

So, the roots will be real and distinct.

5) x² + 7x + 1 = 0 has D = 7² - 4 × 1 × 1 = 45

So, the roots will be real and distinct.

6) 2x² + 9x + 3 = 0, has D = 9² - 4 × 2 × 3 = 57.

Hence, the roots will be real and distinct.

7) 5x² - 6 = 13x

⇒ 5x² - 13x - 6 = 0

So, D = (-13)² - 4 × 5 × (-6) = 289

So, the roots will be real and distinct.

8) x² - x = 3(x + 7)

⇒ x² - 4x - 21 = 0

It has D = (-4)² - 4 × 1 × (-21) = 100

So, the roots will be real and distinct. (Answer)

Please I need help and the calculation of which contract is better.
kramer

Answer:

You should go with the 1st, because it's cheaper.

Step-by-step explanation:

1st plan:

30$ which include 75 mins of free calls and 100 free text messages

25 more mins * 10¢ /min(0.1$/min) = 2.5$

You will pay 32.5$

2nd plan:

(calls)100*0.3$=30$

(text messages)100 * 0.1$=10$

30+10 = 40$
