Answer:

X-Intercept: $\frac{4}{-12}$

Y-Intercept: -4

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello, great question. These types are questions are the beginning steps for learning more advanced Algebraic Equations.

The X and Y intercepts show at what points the function values cross the X and Y axis. We can solve for the X-intercept by substituting the value of y for 0 and then solving for x. Like so...

$0=-12x-4$ .... add 4 on both sides

$4=-12x$ ... divide both sides by -12

$\frac{4}{-12}$ = -x

Now we can see that the X-Intercept is $\frac{4}{-12}$ . Now we substitute 0 for x and solve for the Y-intercept.

$y=-12(0)-4$

$y= -4$

Finally we can see that the Y-intercept is -4

I hope this answered your question. If you have any more questions feel free to ask away at Brainly.

Find the derivative dy, dx for y equals the quotient of the quantity x cubed minus 5 times x and the quantity x squared minus 1.

Elza [17]

Using the quotient rule

dy/dx = (x^-1) * (3x^2 -5 ) - (x^3 - 5x) * 2x
----------------------------------------------
(x^2 - 1)^2

Trigonometry questions

trasher [3.6K]

We'll use standard labeling of right triangle ABC, C=90 degrees, legs a, b, hypotenuse c.

11.

Right triangle, cliff peak A, boat B, angle opposite cliff is B=28.9 deg. adjacent leg a=65.7 m, cliff height is leg b.

tan B = b/a

b = a tan B = 65.7 tan 28.9° = 36.3 m

12.

Similar story, boat at B, opposite b=3.5 m, rope c=12 m

sin B = b/c

B = arcsin b/c = arcsin (3.5/12) = 17.0°

13.

c=124 m, A=58°

sin A = a/c

a = c sin A = 124 sin 58 = 105.2 m

14.

That's a hypotenuse c=4-1.2 = 2.8 m to a height b=1.8m so

cos A = b/c

A = arccos b/c = arccos (1.8/2.8) = 50.0°

15.

Not a right triangle, an isosceles triangle. Half of it is a right triangle with hypotenuse one arm, c=9.8 cm and angle opposite half the base of B=62/2=31°. We're after d=2b:

sin B = b/c

b = c sin B

d = 2b = 2 c sin B = 2(9.8) sin 31 = 10.1 cm

Almost equilateral

A die is thrown . find the probability of (1) a multiple of 2 or 3

tangare [24]

Answer:

A die is thrown which means that it can land on either 1-6 on the die.So if you want to find the probability of the multiple of 2 or 3....we have multiplies of 2 in the die from 1-6 which is 2,4 and 6 if you count them they are just 3 numbers and since there is a probability of it to land on any of them it will be 3/6 which is 1/2 if yiu divide by 3 to it's lowest term....Then multiple of 3 is 3,and 6.which will be 2/6 which is 1/3 if u cut to its lowest term. Or in the question means addition sign in probability then it is 2 or 3 which is (1/2)+(1/3)=5/6.Thank you for the question
