The seats must be arranged in a 38 by 39 arrangement to have the minimum amount of seats used.
You can find this by finding the square root of 1450, which is 38.0788655293.
A) because when they are equal it means that their y has the same value, which means their intersection point.
B) You should take all integers from (-2, 2) which are: -2, -1, 0, 1, 2 and put them one by one in the example:
x = -2
y1 = 4^-(-2) = 4^2 = 16
y2 = 2^(-(-2) + 1) = 2^(2+1) = 2^3 = 8
y1 ≠ y2 => so x=-2 isn't our answer
-------------------------------------------------------
x = -1
y1 = 4^-(-1) = 4^1 = 4
y2 = 2^(-(-1) + 1) = 2^(1+1) = 2^2 = 4
y1 = y2 => so our answer will be x = -1
-------------------------------------------------------
x = 0
y1 = 4^-(0) = 4^0 = 1
y2 = 2^(-(0) + 1) = 2^(0+1) = 2^1 = 2
y1 ≠ y2 => so x=0 isn't our answer
--------------------------------------------------------------
x = 1
y1 = 4^-(1) = 4^(-1) = 1/4
y2 = 2^(-(1) + 1) = 2^(-1+1) = 2^0 = 1
y1 ≠ y2 => so x=1 isn't our answer
--------------------------------------------------------------
x = 2
y1 = 4^-(2) = 4^(-2) = 1/16
y2 = 2^(-(2) + 1) = 2^(-2+1) = 2^(-1) = 1/2
y1 ≠ y2 => so x=2 isn't our answer
Which means that our final answer is: x=-1
C) You should draw both graphics, and their intersection point (x) will be the answer.
I hope it helped.
