Question

List the steps that should be used to solve the equation (f)x=g(x) by graphing when F(x)=(1/2)^x-3 and g(x)=3x+5

Answer 1

ANSWER

See explanation.

EXPLANATION

Step 1

Graph each of the functions.

$f(x) = ( \frac{1}{2} )^{x - 3}$

and

$g(x) = 3x + 5$

Step 2

Look for the point of intersection of the two graphs.

From the graph, the two functions intersected at

(0.38,6.14)
