Answer:
<u>x-intercept</u>
The point at which the curve <u>crosses the x-axis</u>, so when y = 0.
From inspection of the graph, the curve appears to cross the x-axis when x = -4, so the x-intercept is (-4, 0)
<u>y-intercept</u>
The point at which the curve <u>crosses the y-axis</u>, so when x = 0.
From inspection of the graph, the curve appears to cross the y-axis when y = -1, so the y-intercept is (0, -1)
<u>Asymptote</u>
A line which the curve gets <u>infinitely close</u> to, but <u>never touches</u>.
From inspection of the graph, the curve appears to get infinitely close to but never touches the vertical line at x = -5, so the vertical asymptote is x = -5
(Please note: we cannot be sure that there is a horizontal asymptote at y = -2 without knowing the equation of the graph, or seeing a larger portion of the graph).
You deposit some money into a bank account paying 8% simple interest per year. You received $500 in interest after 2 years. How much the deposit (principal) was?
Result
The principal was $3125.
Explanation
Find principal by using the formula I=P⋅i⋅t, where I is interest, P is total principal, i is rate of interest per year, and t is total time in years.
In this example I = $500, i = 8% and t = 2 years, so
IPPP=P⋅i⋅t=Ii⋅t=5000.08⋅2=3125
Answer:
25 potatoes split between 5 people would be 25÷5=5. So each person will get 5 potatoes.
