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.
From the graph we can see that in the interval [0,1] the value of y is less than 1.
In the interval [1,2] the value of y value is 2 to 4.
In the interval [2,infinity) the graph is going up, and the value of y is greater than or equal to 4.
Therefore, the graph going up after y=4 above the line.
Therefore, the minimum y-value is 4 after which the exponential function will always be greater than the linear function.
