Answer:

  x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume your functions are ...

  • f(x) = (1/2)(2^x)
  • g(x) = 5x+2

In general, mixed polynomial and exponential functions have no algebraic solution. That means we need to solve f(x) = g(x) using a table of values, or by graphing.

__

Attached is a graphical solution. It shows the largest value of x for which f(x) = g(x) is x=6.

<em>Check</em>: f(6) = 1/2(2^6) = 32 = g(6) = 5(6) +2

__

<em>Additional comment</em>

We can start with f(x) = g(x) and subtract g(x) from both sides of the equation. This gives ...

  f(x) -g(x) = 0

Many graphing calculators readily identify the zeros of a function or expression. We have used that fact to find the two values of x where these functions are equal: ≈0.32 and 6.

For x>6, the exponential function increases without bound, so the graphs never cross again. Likewise, for x < -0.32, the linear function decreases without bound, so the graphs never cross again.

The lower value of x where the graphs cross is an irrational number near −0.319886722135.

Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

As the function f(x) is an exponencial function, it will grow faster than g(x), that is a linear function.

For small values of x, we have that f(x) < g(x). For example:

f(1) = 1/2 * 2 = 1

g(1) = 5*1 + 2 = 7

f(2) = 1/2 * 4 = 2

g(2) = 5*2 + 4 = 14

So we just need to check some integer values and see when f(x) will be bigger than g(x). It will not be a big value, as the exponencial function grows very fast.

For x = 5, we have:

f(5) = 1/2 * 32 = 16

g(5) = 5*5 + 4 = 29

For x = 6, we have:

f(6) = 1/2 * 64 = 32

g(6) = 5*6 + 4 = 34

For x = 7, we have:

f(7) = 1/2 * 128 = 64

g(7) = 5*7 + 4 = 39

So the largest integer value of x for f(x) ≤ g(x) is x = 6.

Another way to solve this is by plotting both equations, and then checking where they cross, that is, where f(x) = g(x).
