What is the x intercept of the graph of the inequality 2x + 3y > 12

Mathematics

Answer: x intercept = 6

This is the location (6,0)

===============================================================

Explanation:

I assume you're talking about the boundary line of the inequality. The boundary line equation is 2x + 3y = 12

To find the x intercept, plug in y = 0 and solve for x

2x + 3y = 12

2x + 3(0) = 12

2x = 12

x = 12/2

x = 6

The boundary line 2x+3y = 12 crosses the x axis at x = 6.

We can say the x intercept is x = 6. This is the location (6,0).

Side note: the y intercept is y = 4, which is found by plugging in x = 0 and solving for y.

Solve this system of linear equations. Separate the x- and y-values with a comma. -7x + 2y = -8 -16x + 9y = 26
Goryan [66]
(4,10). 
1. There are three ways to solve this: elimination, substitution, graphing.
2. I chose elimination, so I had to get one negative variable and one positive variable of the same value (for example, 18 and -18)

-7x+2y=-8
-16x+9y=26
I chose to get 2y and 9y to equal -18y and 18y. 
So, multiply the first equation by -9. Multiply the second by 2.
63x-18y=72
-32x+18y=52
the 18s cross each other out. So you're left with
63x=72
-32x=52. Add them. 
31x=124, divide both sides by 31, and you'll get 4. 
x=4
Plug your answer for x into one of the equations. Let's use the first one.
-7(4)+2y=-8
-28+2y=-8. add 28 to both sides.
2y=20, divide both sides by 2.
y=10. 
This makes your answer (4,10)

Larry is making custom signs to sell at his shop. The cost of making each sign is $50 plus $4.50 per sign, he will sell them for
Valentin [98]

The best way to answer this would be making a graph


For 1 sign it costs 54.50 and he makes 15

For 2 signs it costs 59 and he makes 30

For 3 signs it costs 63.50 and he makes 45

For 4 signs it costs 68 and he makes 60

For 5 signs it costs 72.50 and he makes 75


This means that after 5 signs Larry will be making profit

What is the minimum y-value after which the exponential function will always be greater than the linear function? y = 1 y = 2 y
Alenkinab [10]

From the graph we can see that in the interval [0,1] the value of y is less than 1.

In the interval [1,2] the value of y value is 2 to 4.

In the interval [2,infinity) the graph is going up, and the value of y is greater than or equal to 4.

Therefore, the graph going up after y=4 above the line.

Therefore, the minimum y-value is 4 after which the exponential function will always be greater than the linear function.

Find the absolute maximum and absolute minimum for f (x )equals x cubed minus 2 x squared minus 4 x plus 2 on the interval 0 les
sineoko [7]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  • maximum: 2
  • minimum: -6

Step-by-step explanation:

The extrema will be at the ends of the interval or at a critical point within the interval.

The derivative of the function is ...

  f'(x) = 3x² -4x -4 = (x -2)(3x +2)

It is zero at x=-2/3 and at x=2. Only the latter critical point is in the interval. Since the leading coefficient of this cubic is positive, the right-most critical point is a local minimum. The coordinates of interest in this interval are ...

  f(0) = 2

  f(2) = ((2 -2)(2) -4)(2) +2 = -8 +2 = -6

  f(3) = ((3 -2)(3) -4)(3) +2 = -3 +2 = -1

The absolute maximum on the interval is f(0) = 2.

The absolute minimum on the interval is f(2) = -6.
