Algebra.Com's Answer #133764 by Mathtut(3670)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! a) it would correctly be the C intercept not the n intercept \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "remember the slope intercept equation y=mx+b......where m is the slope and b is \n" ); document.write( "the y intercept. This is the same thing only its C instead of y. \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "so the C-intercept is 30.52. We cannot really interpret it without more information which you probably didnt give us. If you want it interpreted email me the rest of the problem. \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "for n=0 to 20 \n" ); document.write( "you just plug the values in for n and solve for C \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "example: n=0, C=30.52...so (0,30.52) \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( " n=1, C=2.85(1)+30.52=33.37...so (1,33.37) \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "you'll find for every increase in n by 1 that the C will increase by 2.85 \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "so n=2 is 33.37+2.85=36.22 \n" ); document.write( "...n=3 is 36.22+2.85 \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "and so it continues to 20 \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "here is the graph: \n" ); document.write( " |
