Question

Determine the n-intercept of the graph of the graph of the car value equation v= -1385n + 18,790

Answer 1

-1385N + 18,790 = 0
n = -18790 / -1385 = 13.57 to nearest hundredth

Answer 2

13.57

Explanation:

We have been given an equation
`v=-1385n+18,790`, which represents the value of a car. We are asked to find the n-intercept of our given equation.

We know that the n-intercept will be at
`v=0`.

`0=-1385n+18,790`

Subtracting 18,790 from both sides of our equation we will get,

`0-18,790=-1385n+18,790-18,790`

`-18,790=-1385n`

Now, we will divide both sides of our equation by
`-1385`.

`(-18,790)/(-1385)=(-1385n)/(-1385)`

`13.566787=n`

`n\approx 13.57`

Therefore, the n-intercept of our given graph is approximately 13.57.
