Jennifer started with $50 in her savings account. Each week she withdrew $10. The amount of money in her savings account after \( x \) weeks is represented by the function

\[ f(x) = 50 - 10x \]

Find the intercepts.

Answer (3)

y=0
50-10x=0 10x=50 x=5
x=0 y=50-0 y=50
Interceopt are x = 5 y = 50

The **value **of the **intercepts **are;
⇒ x = 5
⇒ y = 50
What is an expression?
**Mathematical **expression is defined as the collection of the numbers variables and functions by using **operations **like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
Given that;
The **amount **of money in her savings account after x weeks is represented by the **function **is,
⇒ f (x) = 50 - 10x
Now,
Find the intercepts as;
The function is,
⇒ f (x) = 50 - 10x
Put x = 0,
⇒ f (x) = 50 - 10 × 0
⇒ f (x) = 50
⇒ y = 50
And, Put y = 0;
⇒ f (x) = 50 - 10x
⇒ 0 = 50 - 10x
⇒ 10x = 50
⇒ x = 5
Thus, The **value **of the **intercepts **are;
⇒ x = 5
⇒ y = 50

The y-intercept of Jennifer's savings function is 50 (when x = 0), and the x-intercept is 5 (when her savings reach $0 after 5 weeks). This means she starts with $50 and withdraws $10 each week until her account is empty. The intercepts are (0, 50) and (5, 0).
