dont know what language this is. LOL
Let's say that f(x) = y This then comes in the form y = mx + b Set x = 0 to find y-intercept.
O.o stll confused </3
Zero is when we get a 0 in f(x)
ok
@UnkleRhaukus only hints please!
@ParthKohli ah u suck lol :)
This is very easy. Don't be an answer fiend.
We're helping you as far as we can.
no but really ii dont understand these sorts of questions im really really bad at functions and graphs truely, theres got to be something your bad at! SO U GOTTA UNDERSTAND! now algebra im good at that :) but this O.o
Okay, tell me what you get when you set x = 0
0
Let a function with input x: \(y=f(x)\) Be defined as : \(f(x)=-\sqrt {x}+5\) The y intercept is when the input is zero, ie x=0, \(f(0)=-\sqrt {0}+5=\cdots\) The zero is when \(f(x)=0\) ie \(0=-\sqrt{x}+5\) \[\cdots=x\]
ok so i feel that its D?
nope
ugh :(
lets find the y-intercept first: \((0,y)\) \[y=f(x)=-\sqrt x+5\]\[f(0)=-\sqrt 0+5\]\[y=\cdots\]
5
Yes.
can you wright it as a orded pair? \((x,y)\)
0,5
orded pair= coordinate
right,
so its a
Now the zero of the function is when \(y=f(x)=0\) so solve \( 0=−\sqrt{x}+5\)
idk how to solve that im sorry you probably think im mentally ill.. :( this stuff just does not come easy to me ..
no worries i am mental ill aslo \[0=-\sqrt x+5\] add \(\sqrt x\) to both sides
\[\sqrt x=-\sqrt x +5+ \sqrt x\] now simplify the right hand side
omg idk : ( i feel like crying. really thats how fustrated i am,
the right hand side can be simplified to be 5 (perhaps your blood sugar is low, eat a biscuit)
ok i picked E i just have to move on i have a lot to do so i can graduate in 3 days :( thats why im so fustrated. I SPEND LIKE 30 minutes on like 1 question. THANKS ANYWAY I KNOW UR WERE TRYING TO HELP
so we have \[\sqrt x=5\] the next step is to get rid of the square root to do this square both sides of the equation, if you have done this correctly you have found the x that zeroes the function \[x=\cdots\] when this is the input of the function \(f(x)\rightarrow f(\dots)=0 \) because \( f(\dots )=-\sqrt{\cdots}+5=0\) which you can check to be sure
\[({\sqrt x})^2=(5)^2\] \[x=5^2=\cdots\]
NOT E
its ok :) thanks anyway..
You had already found the coordinate of the y intercept = (0,5) which was enough to eliminate all the wrong options
I know i said it was A but you didnt tell me if i was correct so i thought a was wrong so then i just put E :/
well im not really here for multiple choice , im here for mathematics
I understand, thanks anyway! :) <3
