You can find the number of x intercepts by setting f(x) equal to zero giving you 0=x^4-5x^2. You can factor out an x^2 and divide on both sides (when you divide 0 by anything it is still zero so the x^2 disappears), and you are left with 0=x^2-5, which you can solve easily giving you x=+/- sqrt(5). However, the original equation also has an x intercept at (0,0) which you can see by plugging 0 in for x. So the grand total of x intercepts is 3!

Effectus [21]
Work the information to set inequalities that represent each condition or restriction.

2) Name the variables. 

c: number of color copies
b: number of black-and-white copies

3) Model each restriction:

i) <span>It takes 3 minutes to print a color copy and 1 minute to print a black-and-white copy.
</span><span>
</span><span>3c + b
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span>ii) He needs to print at least 6 copies ⇒ c + b ≥ 6
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span>iv) And must have the copies completed in no more than 12 minutes ⇒</span>

3c + b ≤ 12
<span />

4) Additional restrictions are c ≥ 0, and b ≥ 0 (i.e. only positive values for the number of each kind of copies are acceptable)

5) This is how you graph that:

i) 3c + b ≤ 12: draw the line 3c + b = 12 and shade the region up and to the right of the line.

ii) c + b ≥ 6: draw the line c + b = 6 and shade the region down and to the left of the line.

iii) since c ≥ 0 and b ≥ 0, the region is in the first quadrant.

iv) The final region is the intersection of the above mentioned shaded regions.

v) You can see such graph in the attached figure.

Emily invests $5,000 in an
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

50 years

Step-by-step explanation:

use the simple interest formula :

PRT/100

P is the principle (5000)

R is the rate of interest (4)

T is the time taken (x- unknown)

the amount at the end is double the amount invested  = 5000*2 = 10000

(5000*4 * x )/100 = 10000

20000x/100=10000

20000x = 100*10000

20000x = 1 000 000

x= 1 000 000/ 20 000

x = 50

it will take<u> 50 years </u>

charles deposited $12,000 in the bank. He withdrew $5,000 from his account after one year. If he recives a total amount of $9,34
Schach [20]

Answer:

The rate of simple interest is 9%

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets talk about the simple interest

- The simple Interest Equation (Principal + Interest)  is:

  A = P(1 + rt)  , Where

# A = Total amount (principal + interest)

# P = Principal amount

# I = Interest amount

# r = Rate of Interest per year in decimal r = R/100

# R = Rate of Interest per year as a percent R = r * 100

# t = Time period involved in months or years

- The rule of the simple interest is I = Prt

* lets solve the problem

- Charles deposited $12,000

∴ P = $12,000

- He withdrew $5,000 from his account after one year

- He receives a total amount of $9,340 after 3 years

∴ A = $9340 and t = 3

- Lets find the inetrest after 1 year

∵ I = Prt

∵ P = 12000

∵ t = 1

∴ I = 12000(r)(1) = 12000r

- Lets subtract the money that he withdrew

∵ He withdrew $5000

∵ He deposit at first 12000

∴ He has after the withdrew 12000 - 5000 = 7000

- The new P for the next 2 years is 7000

- This amount will take the same rate r for another two years

- The total money is $9340

∵ I = A - P

∵ A = 9340

∵ P = 7000

∴ The amount of interest = 9340 - 7000 = 2340

- The amount of interest after 3 years is 2340

- Lets find the amount of interest in the two years

∴ I = 7000(r × 2) = 14000r

- The amount of interest after the 3 years is the sum of the interest in

  the 1st year and the other 2 years

∴ 2340 = 14000r + 12000r

∴ 2340 = 26000r ⇒ divide both sides bu 2340

∴ r = 2340 ÷ 26000 = 0.09

∵ The rate R in percentage = r × 100

∴ R = 0.09 × 100 = 9%

∴ The rate of simple interest is 9%
