- Refer to the attached graph
Clarification:
To analyze log (−5.6x + 1.3) = −1 − x visually, graph these equations on the same coordinate system:
- Equation 1: y = log (5.6x + 1.3)
The first equation can be graphed using these characteristics of logarithmic functions:
- Domain: values must be positive ⇒ -5.6x + 1.3 > 0 ⇒ x < 13/56 (≈ 0.23)
- Range: all real values (- ∞, ∞)
log ( -5.6x + 1.3) = 0 ⇒ -5.6x + 1.3 = 1 ⇒ x = 0.3/5.6 ≈ 0.054
x = 0 ⇒ log (0 + 1.3) = log (1.3) ≈ 0.11
- Choose additional values to create a table:
x log (-5.6x + 1.3)
-1 0.8
-2 1.1
-3 1.3
- This graph is shown in the attached image: it's represented by the red curve.
Graphing the second equation is simpler as it forms a straight line: y = - 1 - x
- slope, m = - 1 (the coefficient of x)
- y-intercept, b = - 1 (the constant term)
- x-intercept: y = 0 = - 1 - x ⇒ x = - 1
- This graph is indicated by the blue line in the image.
The resolution to the equations corresponds to the points where the two graphs intersect. The graphing method thus allows you to determine the x coordinates of these intersection points. Ordered from smallest to largest, rounded to the nearest tenth, we have:

The image provided presents the complete problem statement while the word document contains the solution.
Examining Talia's steps to derive the line equation, we identify the erroneous step as detailed below:
Step 1:
Select a point on the line, such as (2,5)
Step 2:
<span>Select another point on the line, such as (1, 3)
Step 3:
</span><span>Measure units to find the slope. The line moves 1 unit to the right and 2 units upward, resulting in a slope of
(5-3)/(2-1) = 2/1 = 2
Step 4:
</span><span>Apply these values in the point-slope form
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y - 3 = 2(x - 1)
y = 2x + 1
Hence, the conclusion is:
</span><span>Step 4 is erroneous due to incorrect application of (1, 3) in the point-slope format.</span>
The effective annual interest rate calculations yield:
i = (1 + 0.064/12)^12 - 1 = 0.066
For year 1: the interest amounts to $613.80 (calculating $9300 multiplied by 0.066)
For year 2: the interest totals $654.31 (adding year 1’s interest to $9300 and multiplying by 0.066)
For year 3: the interest is $656.98 (following the same process as year 2)
For year 4: the interest is $657.16
The cumulative interest totals: $2582.25
The present value of this sum is:
P = 2582.23 / (1 + 0.066)^4 = $1999.72
Thus, the final answer is $1999.72.
The solution for y is y = \frac{a}{3(3 + x)}
