Answer:
I believe it is right by looking at this picture, but I am not certain
To find the y-intercept, simply set the value of x equal to 0, and solve for y, or f(x).
f(x) = 0^2 - 3(0) - 40
f(x) = -40
<h3>The y-intercept is -40.</h3>
Because this is a 2nd degree polynomial, we cannot find the x-intercepts in one step, and must instead use one of a few different methods.
In this case, we're going to use the quadratic formula:
Plug in the values.
3 +/- √(-3^2 + 160) / 2
3 +/- √169 / 2
3 +/- 13 / 2
(3 + 13) / 2 = 16 / 2 = 8
(3 - 13) = -10 / 2 = -5
<h3>The x intercepts are 8, and -5.</h3>
Answer:
Morning's average rate = 50 mph, and Afternoon's average rate = 25 mph.
Step-by-step explanation:
Suppose he drove 150 miles for X hours, then his average rate in the morning was (150/X) mph.
Given that he spent 5 hours in driving.
And he drove 50 miles for (5-X) hours, then his average rate in the afternoon was 50/(5-X) mph.
Given that his average rate in the morning was twice his average rate in the afternoon.
(150/x) = 2 * 50/(5-x)
150/x = 100/(5-x)
Cross multiplying terms, we get:-
150*(5-x) = 100*x
750 - 150x = 100x
750 = 100x + 150x
750 = 250x
x = 750/250 = 3.
It means he spent 3 hours in the morning and 2 hours in the afternoon.
So morning's average rate = 150/3 = 50 mph.
and afternoon's average rate = 50/(5-3) = 25 mph.
Instead of subtracting 6 from 12 then dividing they added 6 to 12 & ended up with 18. 18 by 2 is 9.
Using the slope formula the answer would be 1-(-1)/(-1)-6. The slope would be 2/-7. It would be a negative slope.
