First note that if

, you have

Now, you're looking for

such that for any

, you have

Note that you can divide through the left side of the

inequality by

once more:

So it follows that you need to find an appropriate

that will guarantee

For the moment, let's fix

. Then by this assumption, we have

From this we get





where the upper bound is what we care about. With this assumption, we then get that

which suggests that

can be taken to be either the smaller of 1 or

, or

, to guarantee that the function gets arbitrarily close to -8.
Answer:
y = -3 and y = -3
or y = -3 with a multiplicity of 2
Step-by-step explanation:

If you want to factor this, heres what you do:



Then factor:


The value of y:
y + 3 = 0 and y + 3 = 0
y = -3 and y = -3
or y = -3 with a multiplicity of 2
- Quadratic Formula:
, with a = x^2 coefficient, b = x coefficient, and c = constant.
Firstly, starting with the y-intercept. To find the y-intercept, set the x variable to zero and solve as such:

<u>Your y-intercept is (0,-51).</u>
Next, using our equation plug the appropriate values into the quadratic formula:

Next, solve the multiplications and exponent:

Next, solve the addition:

Now, simplify the radical using the product rule of radicals as such:
- Product Rule of Radicals: √ab = √a × √b
√1224 = √12 × √102 = √2 × √6 × √6 × √17 = 6 × √2 × √17 = 6√34

Next, divide:

<u>The exact values of your x-intercepts are (-4 + √34, 0) and (-4 - √34, 0).</u>
Now to find the approximate values, solve this twice: once with the + symbol and once with the - symbol:

<u>The approximate values of your x-intercepts (rounded to the hundredths) are (1.83,0) and (-9.83,0).</u>
Well, drop 65 cents (the first 250 grams) to get 90 remaining cents. These are 900 additional grams. So, the mass is 0.25+0.9=1.15 kg.
