well, x-intercept means for a graphed funciton where the x-axis gets touched/intercepted, Check the picture below, when that occurs, y = 0, so if we want to know what "x" is at that point we can simply set y = 0 and solve for "x".

-3x-5y=12\implies \stackrel{\textit{setting y = 0}}{-3x-5(0) =12}\implies -3x-0=12 \\\\\\ -3x=12\implies x=\cfrac{12}{-3}\implies x = -4 \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ ~\hfill \stackrel{\textit{coordinates}}{(-4~~,~~0)}~\hfill

Tasya [4]

Answer:

  p = 55 + 35h

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p and h represent the price of the service call and the hours worked, respectively. The price charged is 35 dollars for each hour, so the time-based part of the price is 35h. The base fee of 55 dollars is added to that for a total price of ...

Let f(x) = x2 − 16. find f−1(x). open study
Bogdan [553]
Okay, so first you make f(x) = y and switch x and y. So the equation becomes:

x = y^2 - 16

The next step is to get y by itself. So first you add 16 to both sides:

x + 16 = y^2

Now you square root everything, so the final answer is going to be:

the square root of x + 4 = y

the height of a kicked soccer ball is represented by the function f(x)=8x-2x^2 where x is the number of seconds since the ball w
____ [38]

Answer:

Result at time x = 4 seconds the soccer ball hit the ground.

Step-by-step explanation:

At the moment just before the ball is kicked, it is on the ground and so the height f(x) is zero meters. After the kick, the ball goes through the air and it's path can be described by a (mountain) parabola.

So lets see after how many second (x) the height = 0 once again.

f(x) = 8x-2x^2

f(x) = 0

8x - 2x^2 = 0

Try to write the formula in two terms

-2x * (x - 4) = 0

When a product of two or more terms equals zero, then at least one of the terms must be zero.

Now solve each term = 0 separately, meaning, solve as many equations as there are terms in the product.

Any solution of term = 0 solves product = 0.

Solve the first term:

-2x = 0

Multiply left an right from the = singn with the factor -1 gives this outcome:

2x = 0

x = 0

Solve the second term:

x-4 = 0

x = 4

Result at time x = 4 seconds the soccer ball hit the ground.

x = 4

x = 0
