Question 1002854: it has been said that newspapers are disappearing, replaced by various electronic media. the average circulation of newspapers in the United States y, in millions, from 2003 to 2007 can be modeled by the equation y= -1.9 x + 59, where x represents the number of years after 2003.
a. find the x-intercept of this equation(round to the nearest tenth)
b. what does this x-intercept mean? Answer by Cromlix(4381) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Hi there,
y= -1.9 x + 59
a) x intercept
Make y = 0
0 = -1.9x + 59
1.9x = 59
x = 59/1.9
x = 31.1 (To nearest tenth.)
b) What does this 'x' intercept mean?
31.1 years
= 31 years 5 weeks 1.4 days.
Hope this helps :-)
