The weight, in pounds, of a newborn baby tt months after birth can be modeled by the function W(t)=1.25t+6.W(t)=1.25t+6. What is the yy-intercept of the function and what is its interpretation in the context of the problem?

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]6[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

GIVEN: The weight, in pounds, of a newborn baby [tex]t[/tex] months after birth can be modeled by the function [tex]W(t)=1.25t+6[/tex].

TO FIND: What is the y-intercept of the function and what is its interpretation in the context of the problem.

SOLUTION:

in  [tex]W(t)=1.25t+6[/tex]

if [tex]t=0[/tex]

[tex]W(0)=6[/tex]

Hence y-intercept is [tex]6[/tex]

the y-intercept in this represents the weight of baby just after he is born.
