To graph it, just graph y=-3^{-x}-6 and y=-3^x+10 and see where they intersect

I would like to solve it by using math and not graphing
if you don't want to see the math, just don't scroll down
the graphical meathod is above, first line, just read it

hmm
multiply both sides by -1
3^{-x}+6=3^x-10
multiply both sides by 3^x
3^0+6(3^x)=3^{2x}-10(3^x)
1+6(3^x)=3^{2x}-10(3^x)
minus 1 from both sides and minus 6(3^x) from both sides
0=3^{2x}-16(3^x)-1
use u subsitution
u=3^x
we can rewrite it as
0=u^2-16u-1
now factor
I mean use quadratic formula
for ax^2+bx+c=0 x=\frac{-b+/-\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}
so for 0=u^2-16u-1, a=1, b=-16, c=-1
u=\frac{-(-16)+/-\sqrt{(-16)^2-4(1)(-1)}{2(1)}
u=8+/-\sqrt{65}
remember that u=3^x so u>0
if we have u=8+√65, it's fine, but u=8-√65 is negative and not allowed
so therfor
u=8+\sqrt{65}=3^x
8+\sqrt{65}=3^x
if you take the log base 3 of both sides you get
log_3(8+\sqrt{65})=x
if you use ln then
ln(8+\sqrt{65})=xln(3)
then
\frac{ln(8+\sqrt{65})}{ln(3)}=x

Answer:

x = 2.527

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to solve the equation -3^{-x}-6=-3^x+10 by graphing method.

In order to solve this equation from graphing method, we graph the below two equations in the same coordinate axes.

y=-3^{-x}-6...(i)\\\\y=-3^x+10...(ii)

The x -coordinate of the intersection point of these two graphs would be the solution of the equation.

Please see the attached graph.

The x-coordinate of the intersection point is 2.527.

Hence, the solution to the given equation is x = 2.527

lesantik [10]
This value is in the positive quadrant meaning that all values remain positive. To answer this problem you must have an understanding of trig ratios being that tangent is opposite/adjacent. When you plot the points and draw a triangle using the origin of the point, you find that the adjacent value is 5 and opposite value is 15

COPY THE TABLE BELOW IN YOUR NOTEBOOK. THEN ROUND EACH ITEM TO THE NEAREST HUNDREDTHS AND THOUSANDS​
kobusy [5.1K]
What’s the items number. ? When rounding everything in front of the decimal find the place value it wants you to round then if it’s 5 or below round the the lowest whole number. If it’s behind a decimal you would do the same thing. It’s the number is higher than 5 round it up.
