Cevap
The -coordinate of the -intercept of the graph of is .
To find the correct answer, we first substitute the point into to obtain . Simplifying this equation gives , which has solutions and . Since the problem states that is a positive constant, we have , which means . We then find the equation for the transformed function by replacing with and subtracting , which yields . To find the -coordinate of the -intercept, we evaluate at , giving .
