Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A chicken has 2 legs, a pig has four. 13 pigs x 4 legs each = 52

4 chickens x 2 legs each = 8

52+8= 60 legs in total

So there are 13 pigs and 4 chickens

Factor the expression and simplify as much as possible. 24x(x2 1)4(x3 1)5 42x2(x2 1)5(x3 1)4

Answer: 120[4(x^6 + x^3 + x^4 + x) +7(x^7 + x^4 + x^5 + x^2)]

Step-by-step explanation:

=24x(x^2 + 1)4(x^3 + 1)5 + 42x^2(x^2 + 1)5(x^3 + 1)4

Remove the brackets first

=[(24x^3 +24x)(4x^3 + 4)]5 + [(42x^4 +42x^2)(5x^3 + 5)4]

=[(96x^6 + 96x^3 +96x^4 + 96x)5] + [(210x^7 + 210x^4 + 210x^5 + 210x^2)4]

=(480x^6 + 480x^3 + 480x^4 + 480x) + (840x^7 + 840x^4 + 840x^5 + 840x^2)

Then the common:

=[480(x^6 + x^3 + x^4 + x) + 840(x^7 + x^4 + x^5 + x^2)]

=120[4(x^6 + x^3 + x^4 + x) +7(x^7 + x^4 + x^5 + x^2)]

Write the equation of the line in fully simplified slope-intercept form.

Lina20 [59]

Answer:

$y=-6x+2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

Slope-intercept form: $y=mx+b$ where <em>m</em> is the slope and <em>b</em> is the y-intercept (the value of y when x=0)

<u>1) Determine the slope (</u><u><em>m</em></u><u>)</u>

$m=\displaystyle \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ where two points that fall on the line are $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$

Given the graph, we determine which points we could use. For example, we could use the two points $(0,2)$ and $(1,-4)$ :

$m=\displaystyle \frac{-4-2}{1-0}\\\\m=\displaystyle \frac{-6}{1}\\\\m=-6$

Therefore, the slope of the line is -6. Plug this into $y=mx+b$ :

$y=-6x+b$

<u>2) Determine the y-intercept (</u><u><em>b</em></u><u>)</u>

Recall that the y-intercept occurs when x=0. Given the point (0,2), we know that the y-intercept is 2. Plug this into $y=-6x+b$ :

$y=-6x+2$

I hope this helps!
