What is the y intercept of the quadratic function f(x)=x^2+x-6

Mathematics
1 answer:
saveliy_v [14]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

(0,\, -6).

Step-by-step explanation:

On a cartesian plane, the y-intercept of a function is the point where the graph of that function intersects with the y\!-axis.

The y-axis of a cartesian plane is the same as the equation x = 0 (that is, the collection of all points with an x-coordinate of 0.)

Construct a system of two equations, with one equation representing y-axis and y = f(x) to represent the graph of this function:

\begin{aligned}\begin{cases} y = x^{2} + x - 6 & \text{for the quadratic function} \\ x = 0 & \text{for the $y$-axis}\end{cases}\end{aligned}.

Solve this system for x and for y. If a solution exists, then the y\!-axis and the graph of y = f(x) would indeed intersect. The point (x,\, y) would be the intersection of the y\!\!-axis and the graph of y = f(x)\!.

Substitute the second equation of the system into the first.

\begin{aligned}\begin{cases} x = 0 \\ y = -6\end{cases}\end{aligned}.

Hence, the intersection of the y-axis and the graph of y = f(x) would be (0,\, -6). By definition, this point would be the y\!-intercept of y = f(x)\!.

a scuba diver descended at a rate of 2 1/4 per second. If 0 represents the surface of the water and distances below the surface
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

The location will be at - 28\frac{1}{8} units.

Step-by-step explanation:

A scuba diver descended at a rate of 2\frac{1}{4} units per second.

Now, if 0 represents the surface of the water and distances below the surface are negative, then after 12\frac{1}{2} seconds the location of the diver will be given by the followings :

In one second the diver descends by 2.25 units depth.

So, in 12.5 seconds the diver will descend by (2.25 \times 12.5) = 28.125 units i.e. 28\frac{1}{8} units depth.

Therefore, the location will be at - 28\frac{1}{8} units. (Answer)

The vertex formation of a parabola is x = 8(y- 1)2-76.
Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

\boxed{x=8y^2-16y-68}

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello, please consider the following.

x=8(y- 1)^2-76\\\\x=8(y^2-2y+1)-76\\\\x=8y^2-16y+8-76\\\\\boxed{x=8y^2-16y-68}

Hope this helps.

Do not hesitate if you need further explanation.

Thank you

Please show me step by step how to solve this problem 3(-8+4v)=8v ?
Nadusha1986 [10]
So we know that:
3(-8 + 4v) = 8v
To find v, first simplify the left hand side:
-24 + 12v = 8v
Then group the "v's" over to the right:
-24 = -4v
-6 = -v
So v = 6

Hope this helped
