<span>Alright, here's your answer.

y-intercept is computed (not found) by assigning x = 0 and computing y: here that is f(0) = Log(2*0 + 1) – 1 = Log(1) – 1 = 0 – 1 = -1
y-intercept is (0, -1)

x-intercept is computed by solving f(x) = 0 for x: here that is
0 = Log(2x + 1) – 1 → 1 = Log(2x + 1)

Assuming the Log cited is base 10, then 10^1 = 10^Log(2x + 1) = 2x + 1

That’s 10 = 2x + 1

Therefore 9 = 2x
x = 9/2 = 4.5
Check this result in the original equation, I did!

Your answer is - x-intercept is (4.5, 0)

I hope I helped! :)

Sometimes you just need to take a moment and really look for some hints that’ll help you. Rotate your page, maybe colour some lines.

Take a look at the picture, I coloured the lines and saw that the red and green angles are actually the same. And since the 90° angle is given, just subtract it from 140° to get your answer.

x = 50°
