Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
GIVEN: The weight, in pounds, of a newborn baby
months after birth can be modeled by the function
.
TO FIND: What is the y-intercept of the function and what is its interpretation in the context of the problem.
SOLUTION:
in 
if 

Hence y-intercept is 
the y-intercept in this represents the weight of baby just after he is born.
X=5
Do you need an explanation or is the answer enough?
Step-by-step explanation:
a^2 + 2(b - 6) - 17. a = -7 b = 2
= (-7)^2 - 2(2 - 6) - 17
= 49 - 4 + 12 - 17
= 40
If you’re talking about answers a would be the option first b would be 2nd and c would be 3rd
-|20| + |5| = -15
Steps:
Apply absolute rule: |a| = a, a >/ 0
|20| = 20
= -20+5
Apply absolute rule: |a| = a, a >/ 0
|5| = 5
= -20+5
Refine
= -15
Hope this helps you! (:
