The Jackson family started a small business. The equation ý = 5.9. - 19.5 models the business's cash value, in thousands of dollars, x years after they started their business.
Which statement best explains what the y-intercept of the equation means?
A The Jackson's lost $19,500 the first year they were in business
B The Jackson's lost $19,500 every 5.9 years.
C The Jackson's started their business with a debt of $19,500.
D The Jackson's lost $19,500 every year they were in business

the solution of the equation is 2.23 ⇒ answer b

step-by-step explanation:

* lets revise the meaning of exponential function

- the form of the exponential function is y = ab^x, where a ≠ 0, b > 0 ,  

  b ≠ 1, and x is any real number

- it has a constant base b

- it has a variable exponent x

- to solve an exponential equation, take the log or ln of both sides,  

  and solve for the variable

* lets solve the problem

∵

- the base is 7 and the exponent is x

- insert ㏑ in both sides

∴

- use the rule

∴ x ㏑(7) = ㏑(77)

- to find x divide both sides by ㏑(7)

∴

* the solution of the equation is 2.23 to the nearest 2 decimal places

you a real one for tat answer

step-by-step explanation:

the correct answer would be the third option

it is rigid.; it is isometric. ; the size is preserved.

step-by-step explanation:

a translation is called an isometry; these are transformations that preserve congruence between pre-images and images.

they are also called rigid transformations, as the only thing that can happen to a pre-image is that it is moved or turned, not stretched or shrunk.

since congruence is preserved, the size is preserved.
