Question

question 1 (multiple choice worth 2 points)
(intercepts and rate of change mc)
the table models the balance of a bank account, in dollars, for a given number of days. determine and interpret the x - intercept.

x	0	1	2	3	4	5
f(x)	250	125	0	-125	-250	-375

• the x - intercept is given by the ordered pair (250, 0). this means that on day 0, the bank account has a balance of $250
• the x - intercept is given by the ordered pair (0, 250). this means that on day 0, the bank account has a balance of $250
• the x - intercept is given by the ordered pair (0, 2). this means that on day 2, the bank account has a balance of $0
• the x - intercept is given by the ordered pair (2, 0). this means that on day 2, the bank account has a balance of $0

Explanation:

Step1: Define x-intercept

An x-intercept is the point where $h(x)=0$, with the ordered pair $(x, 0)$.

Step2: Locate x in the table

Find the row where $h(x)=0$. From the table, when $x=2$, $h(x)=0$.

Step3: Interpret the intercept

The ordered pair is $(2, 0)$, meaning on day 2, the account balance is $0.

Answer:

The x-intercept is given by the ordered pair (2, 0) This means that on day 2, the bank account has a balance of $0
