Answer:
The correct option is;
D. x = -1.38 and 0.82
Please find attached the combined function chart
Step-by-step explanation:
The given equation is x³ + 3 = -x⁴ + 4
Plotting the equation using Excel, we have;
f(x) = x³ + 3, h(x) = -x⁴ + 4
x f(x) h(x)
-1.4 0.256 0.1584
-1.39 0.314381 0.26699
-1.38 0.371928 0.373261
-1.37 0.428647 0.477246
-1.36 0.484544 0.57898
Which shows an intersection at the point around -1.38
x f(x) h(x)
0.77 3.456533 3.64847
0.78 3.474552 3.629849
0.79 3.493039 3.610499
0.8 3.512 3.5904
0.81 3.531441 3.569533
0.82 3.551368 3.547878
0.83 3.571787 3.525417
Which shows the intersection point around 0.82
Therefore, the correct option is x = -1.38 and 0.82
From the graphing calculator the intersection point is given as
x = -1.3802775691 and 0.81917251339.

So to solve for y, we need to get y alone on one side of the equation. So we are going to subtract 9x from both sides of the equation to get:
And since y is negative, we are going to divide both sides by -1 in order to make the y positive:
