Answer:

1. (4.5,0)

2. (0,-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The intercept with the y-axis is making 0 the value of x and the intercept with the y-axis is making or the value of y.

a) If [tex]y=f(x)=log(2x+1)-1[/tex]

we make y=0

[tex]0=log(2x+1)-1\\10^1=10^{log(2x+1)}\\10=2x+1\\x=\frac{9}{2}=4.5[/tex]

Then the x-intercept is (4.5,0)

we make x=0

[tex]log(2*0+1)-1=log(1)-1==-1y[/tex]

Then the y-intercept is (0,-1).
