Answer:

The point representing the y-intercept is: (0, -3)

The black dot represents the y-intercept on the attached graph. It is very clear at y = 0, x = -3.

The point representing the x-intercept is: (10.5, 0)

The red dot represents the x-intercept on the attached graph. It is very clear at x = 0, y = 10.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the linear equation

-2x+7y=-21

Determining the y-intercept

We know that the value of y-intercept can be determined by setting x = 0, and determining the corresponding value of y.

substituting x = 0 in the equation

-2x+7y=-21

-2(0) + 7y = -21

0+7y = -21

7y = -21

divide both sides by 7

7y/7 = -21/7

y = -3

Therefore, the point representing the y-intercept is: (0, -3)

The black dot represents the y-intercept on the attached graph. It is very clear at y = 0, x = -3.

Determining the x-intercept

We know that the value of x-intercept can be determined by setting y = 0, and determining the corresponding value of x.

substituting y = 0 in the equation

-2x+7y=-21

-2x+7(0) = -21

-2x + 0 = -21

-2x = -21

divide both sides by -2

-2x / -2 = -21 / -2

x = 21/2

x = 10.5

Therefore, the point representing the x-intercept is: (10.5, 0)

The graph of the linear equation containing the y-intercept (0, -3) and x-intercept (10.5, 0) is shown and attached below.

The red dot represents the x-intercept on the attached graph. It is very clear at x = 0, y = 10.5

A page was missing from a 72 - page book. When Josh added up the remaining page numbers, the sum was 2521. Which page was missin

morpeh [17]

The numbers 1 to 72 add up to (1+72) x 72/2 = 73 x 36 = 2628
If we take away what Josh got we have 2628 - 2521 = 107
Pages in a book are odd on the first side and even on the second, so pages 11 and 12 are on the same sheet.
107 / 2 = 53.5 so the missing page had 53 on one side and 54 on the other side.
The remaining pages would have been numbered 1, 2, 3, ..., 51, 52, 55, 56, ... 71, 72

Inequality to x2 < 64

Anarel [89]

NOT MY WORDS TAKEN FROM A SOURCE!

(x^2) <64 => (x^2) -64 < 64-64 => (x^2) - 64 < 0 64= 8^2 so (x^2) - (8^2) < 0 To solve the inequality we first find the roots (values of x that make (x^2) - (8^2) = 0 ) Note that if we can express (x^2) - (y^2) as (x-y)* (x+y) You can work backwards and verify this is true. so let's set (x^2) - (8^2) equal to zero to find the roots: (x^2) - (8^2) = 0 => (x-8)*(x+8) = 0 if x-8 = 0 => x=8 and if x+8 = 0 => x=-8 So x= +/-8 are the roots of x^2) - (8^2)Now you need to pick any x values less than -8 (the smaller root) , one x value between -8 and +8 (the two roots), and one x value greater than 8 (the greater root) and see if the sign is positive or negative. 1) Let's pick -10 (which is smaller than -8). If x=-10, then (x^2) - (8^2) = 100-64 = 36>0 so it is positive
2) Let's pick 0 (which is greater than -8, larger than 8). If x=0, then (x^2) - (8^2) = 0-64 = -64 <0 so it is negative3) Let's pick +10 (which is greater than 10). If x=-10, then (x^2) - (8^2) = 100-64 = 36>0 so it is positive Since we are interested in (x^2) - 64 < 0, then x should be between -8 and positive 8. So -8<x<8 Note: If you choose any number outside this range for x, and square it it will be greater than 64 and so it is not valid.

Hope this helped!
