<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! :)

Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
72/9=8
-72/-9=8 because negative/negative=positive.
Use elimination
Multiply first equation by 4
12a - 8b = 56
12a + 9b = 39
Subtract both
-17b = 17
b = -1
Plug in -1 for b
3a - 2(-1) = 14
3a = 12, a = 4
Final answer: a = 4, b = -1
