The air temperature is -6 degrees celsius every hour for several hours. the air temperature after x hours is represented by the function f(x) = 3x - 6. , i need this quick.

x-intercept is (2,0)  [The x-intercept means that it takes 2 hours for the temperature to reach 0°C]

y-intercept is (0, -6)  [The y-intercept represents the temperature at sunrise, -6°C]

Step-by-step explanation:

Complete Question:

The air temperature is -6 degrees celcius at sunrise and rises 3 degree celcius every hour for several hours. The air temperature after x hours is represented by the function f(x) = 3x - 6. Find the x-intercept and y-intercept and interpret their meaning.

Lets find x-intercept first:

f(x) = 3x - 6

0 = 3x - 6

3x = 6

x = 6/3

x = 2

x-intercept is (2,0)

Now, lets find y-intercept:

f(x) = 3x - 6

f(x) = 3(0) - 6

f(x) = -6

y-intercept is (0, -6)

The x-intercept means that it takes 2 hours for the temperature to reach 0°C

The y-intercept represents the temperature at sunrise, -6°C

answer:  

step-by-step explanation:

here x represents the height of the pole,

and, the height of the shadow of the pole is 12 feet.

also, the angle of elevation from the top of the pole is 40°,

therefore,

by the low of sine,

which is the required equation for finding the value of x,
