Can somebody please show me how to do this problem
1 answer:
Answer:
- g(20) > f(20)
- g(x) exceeds f(x) for any x > 4
Step-by-step explanation:
As with most graphing problems not involving straight lines, it works well to start with a table of values. Pick a few values of x and compute f(x) and g(x) for those values. Plot the points and draw a smooth curve through them.
As in the attached, your table will show that there are two points of intersection between f(x) and g(x), and that for values of x more than 4, g(x) becomes much greater very quickly. Both curves rapidly reach the top of your graph space.
To find whether f(20) or g(20) is greater, you can evaluate the functions for that value of x.
f(20) = 20² = 400
g(20) = 2²⁰ = 1,048,576
Clearly, g(20) has a greater value.

Answer:
50 hammers and 20 wrenches.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent number of hammers and y represent number of ranchers.
We have been given that a store sold 70 hammers and ranchers. We can represent this information in an equation as:
We are also told that each hammer sold for $10 and each rancher sold for five dollars resulting a total of 600.00. We can represent this information in an equation as:
From equation (1), we will get:
Substituting this value in equation (2), we will get:
Therefore, 20 wrenches were sold.
Now, we will substitute in equation (1) as:
Therefore, 50 hammers were sold.
