Find the x-intercept of the graph of the equation =−.+y equals negative , 2.65 , x plus 25. What does the x-intercept mean in terms of the situation?

Ok so we can see for every 2 cups of medium coffee, the balance goes down 5.30$. So that means that for every coffee, her balance goes down 2.65$. Solving for the x-intercept means how many medium coffees can I get until my balance is 0. First, we have to find the y-int so it's easy. The slope is -2.65 because for every medium coffee, her balance goes down 2.65$. So we have y=-2.65x+b. Plugging in any point, I choose (4,14.40), we get 14.4 = -2.65 × 4 +b. Solving for b we get 25 for the y intercept, meaning the equation is y = -2.65x + 25 . To find the x intercept, we set y=0. So we have 0 = -2.65x+25. Solving for x we get approx. 9.4. We can't have decimals so we round down to 9. So the x int is ≈ 9.4 meaning we can only buy 9 coffee and have a little extra. But, if the problem said how many more coffees can she get, then here is how we do it. Since she already got 4 coffees, and the max is 9, we do 9-4 and we get 5, so she can buy 5 coffeed more.

Step-by-step explanation:

all it means is function 3

the solution of the equation is 2.23 ⇒ answer b

step-by-step explanation:

* lets revise the meaning of exponential function

- the form of the exponential function is y = ab^x, where a ≠ 0, b > 0 ,  

  b ≠ 1, and x is any real number

- it has a constant base b

- it has a variable exponent x

- to solve an exponential equation, take the log or ln of both sides,  

  and solve for the variable

* lets solve the problem

∵

- the base is 7 and the exponent is x

- insert ㏑ in both sides

∴

- use the rule

∴ x ㏑(7) = ㏑(77)

- to find x divide both sides by ㏑(7)

∴

* the solution of the equation is 2.23 to the nearest 2 decimal places
