Answer:
The x -coordinate(s) of the point(s) of intersection of these two polynomials are 
The sum of these x -coordinates is 
Step-by-step explanation:
The intersections of the two polynomials, p(x) and q(x), are the roots of the equation p(x) = q(x).
Thus, 
and we solve for x
Using Zero Factor Theorem: = 0 if and only if = 0 or = 0
The solutions are:
The sum of these x -coordinates is
We can check our work with the graph of the two polynomials.
First we find the slope by using the slope formula : (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
(0,7)....x1 = 0 and y1 = 7
(8,-2)...x2 = 8 and y2 = -2
now sub...pay attention to ur signs
slope = (-2 - 7) / (8 - 0) = -9/8
now we use y = mx + b
slope(m) = -9/8
u can use either of ur points...(0,7)...x = 0 and y = 7
now sub into ur formula and find b, the y int
7 = -9/8(0) + b
7 = b
so ur equation is : y = -9/8x + 7 <==
The answer is A.) 500 Year books.
The profit they would gain from each year book would be $28 since each year book costs $7 to make and sells for $35. You would simply divide 14,000 by 28 to find how many books they would need to sell in order to get their investment back which would be 500 books.
Hope this helps.
Answer:
21 quarters
Step-by-step explanation:
When you figure out that a quarter is .25 and a dime is .10 you find out that there are 16 dimes. then make 37-16 to figure out that there are 21 quarters.
