Find the y-intercept and x-intercept for the equation 5x-3y=60 what is the y-intercept

Noel is hoping to make a profit (in $) on the school play and has determined the function describing the profit to be f(t) = 8t – 2654, where t is the number of tickets sold. what does the number 8 tell you?

Ven the functions, f(x) = 5x2 - 3x + 1 and g(x) = 2x2 + x - 2, perform the indicated operation. when applicable, state the domain restriction. (f - g)(x) 3x2 - 4x + 3 3x2 - 2x - 1 3x2 - 4x - 1 3x2 - 2x + 3
