Answers:
1. The n-intercept is 12. That means after 12 visits the amount of money on the gift car is $0.
2. The A(n)-intercept is 150. Before the visits, the amount of money on the gift car is $150.
Solution:
Amount of money on the gift card after n number of visits: A(n)=$150-$12.50 n
A(n)=150-12.50 n
1. n-intercept
A(n)=0→150-12.50 n =0
Solving for n: Subtracting 150 both sides of the equation:
150-12.50 n-150 = 0-150
-12.50 n = -150
Dividing both sides of the equation by -12.50:
(-12.50 n) / (-12.50) = (-150) / (-12.50)
n=12
The n-intercept is n=12; for n=12→A(12)=0. Point (n, A(n))=(12,0)
2. A(n) intercept
n=0→A(0)=150-12.50 (0)
A(0)=150-0
A(0)=150
The A(n) intercept is 150; for n=0→A(0)=150. Point (n, A(n))=(0,150)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The general formula for a horizontal hyperbola :
Given: a = 1 we know a² = 1 ,and that c = 9 so we know c² = 9² = 81
We also know that the relation between a, b, c for a hyperbola is c²= a²+b²
c²= a²+b², substitute what we know
81 = 1 +b², subtract 1 from both sides of the equation
80 = b²
The equation of our hyperbola is:

Don't let fractions fool you.
of a tank in
an hour is equal to:
1/12 of a tank in 20 minutes.
Thus we know in an hour, an oil company can fill 3/12 of a tank (60 minutes in an hour).
3 x 4 = 12, and 12/12 = 1(a whole tank), so we multiply 1 (hour) by 4.
Our answer is that it takes 4 hours to fill a tank.

Answer:
B) obtuse
Step-by-step explanation:
I like to answer these questions using a "form factor" (f) computed as ...
f = a² + b² - c² . . . . . . . where a, b, c are side lengths with c the longest
Then ...
f = 9² +12² -17² = 81 +144 -289 = -64
The negative value indicates an obtuse triangle (largest angle more than 90°).
__
f = 0 indicates a right triangle; f > 0 indicates an acute triangle.

<em>Additional comments</em>
You may recognize that the two short sides have the ratio 9:12 = 3:4. You know a (3, 4, 5) triangle is a right triangle, so this triangle would be a right triangle if the longest side were 15. Since it is 17, you know the largest angle is more than 90°.
This "form factor" is related to the angle computation you would do to find the measure of the largest angle using the law of cosines. That angle is ...
C = arccos(f/(2ab)) = arccos(-64/216) ≈ 107.2°
Since the factor (2ab) is always positive, the sign of "f" tells you the sign of the cosine of the angle. It is negative for angles greater than 90°.
Answer:
3 = ?
Step-by-step explanation:
The triangles are similar, so we can use ratios
15 12 -2
------ = --------------
15+? 12
15 10
------ = --------------
15+? 12
Using cross products
15 * 12 = 10 ( 15+?)
180 = 10 ( 15+?)
Divide each side by 10
18 = 15+?
Subtract 15 from each side
18-15 = 15+?-15
3 = ?
