At the end of a snow storm, Caleb saw there was a lot of snow on his front lawn. The temperature increased and the snow began to melt at a steady rate. The depth of
snow on Caleb's lawn, in inches, can be modeled by the equation S = -2t + 18,
where t is the time, in hours, after the snow stopped falling. What is the y-intercept
of the equation and what is its interpretation in the context of the problem?

Step-by-step explanation:

i think 1: 2

step-by-step explanation:

the answer is:

the correct option:

b.

to solve the problem, we need to remember how to operate to simplify exponential expressions using the logarithms.

we are given the equation:

then, using placing logarith with base 7 on both sides of the equation, we have:

so, rounding the obtained result to two decimal places (nearest hundreth), we have:

hence, we have that the correct option:

b.

have a nice day!
