Answer:
- x-intercept: 82.75
- y-intercept: 2.15
Explanation:
A graphing calculator can show you the intercepts.
___
Or you can figure them out.
The y-intercept is where x=0, so is ...
y = log(12·0 +7) -3 = log(7) -3 ≈ -2.1549 ≈ -2.15
___
The x-intercept is where y = 0, so is ...
0 = log(12x +7) -3
3 = log(12x +7) . . . . . . add 3
10^3 = 12x +7 . . . . . . . take the antilog
993 = 12x . . . . . . . . . . subtract 7
993/12 = x = 82.75 . . . divide by the coefficient of x
