Question

Help Please !!!!!!!
Can someone please check my work.. I dont know how find x/ y intercepts. I need help sketching it
I have atatched my work in an image . :)

Answer 1

To find x - intercept, simply let y = 0 and solve for x.
To find y - intercept, simply let x = 0 and solve for y.

Sure, upload the image.

Answer 2

okay. im about to uplaod image

Answer 3

Almost right, looking at the x - intercept, first thing, you don't have to put base e when you put "ln" that already means it's to base e. Also, your last step is wrong, you're dividing by -1 when you should just subtract by -1 on both sides so you have \[x=e^{-6}-1 \implies \frac{ 1 }{ e^6 }-1\], your y - intercept is correct though, so good work.

Answer 4

oh okay. so for the x int is there a way to solve by hand . i solved it by the calculator

Answer 5

No, just leave it as it is, your teachers don't expect you to do know it as decimal form

Answer 6

oh okay. about the y intercept is there a way to solve it by hand ?

Answer 7

I don't really know what you mean

Answer 8

the y - intercept is -3

Answer 9

oh bc i want to solve the equation by hand for y= -1/2 ln (0+1) -3 inorder find the y int .

Answer 10

You already solved it for the y - intercept, you got y = 3

Answer 11

y=-3*

Answer 12

You already solved both x and y intercepts, that's what your work showed..

Answer 13

You just had made an error while you solved the x - intercept which I fixed for you

Answer 14

yes i solved it by using the calculator. but is there a way to solve it by hand instead of using the calculator

Answer 15

You mean the algebra...?

Answer 16

You should be doing that by hand

Answer 17

yes. that was my question. how do i solve it by hand bc i have trouble

Answer 18

Those are the steps you use to solve it by hand

Answer 19

yes that was for the x intercpt. but im asking how do i solve the y int by hand ?
