Easy,
to find the x-intercept, substitute in 0 for y and solve for x. To find the y-intercept, substitute in 0 for x and solve for y.
x-intercept: (3,0)
y-intercept: (0,9)
Answer:
<h2>54m²</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
<h3>METHOD 1:</h3>
You can use the Heron's formula:

where
<em>p</em><em> - half of perimeter</em>
<em>a, b, c</em><em> - lengths of sides</em>
We have

Calculate:

<h3>METHOD 2:</h3>
Let's check that it is not a right triangle.
If the sum of the squares of the two shorter sides is equal to the square of the longest side, then this triangle is rectangular.
We have

Check:

This is a right trianglr wherew 9m and 12m are legs and 15m is a hypotenuse.
The formula of an area of a right triangle is:

<em>a, b</em><em> - legs</em>
Substitute:

2.5 divided by 2 equals 1.25 so each side equals 1.25
Answer:
Ok, first in our series we can see two numbers in the Sigma, one bellow 0, and other above, 4.
This means that the value of k will go from 0 to 4, then all the numbers in the sum are:
(-1/2)^0 + (-1/2)^1 + (-1/2)^2 + (-1/2)^3 + (-1/2)^4
So we have 5 terms in our series.
b) to see the sign in each term, we must solve the powers, remember that:
(-1)^n is -1 if n is odd, and is equal to 1 if n is even, so we have:
(-1/2)^0 + (-1/2)^1 + (-1/2)^2 + (-1/2)^3 + (-1/2)^4
= 1 -1/2 + 1/4 - 1/8 + 1/16.
So the sign in each term of the series alternates.
