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.
1.30 represents the rate of growth of the mold spores. This decimal is a representation of the percentage growth, which would be 130%.
Since the function is written in terms of weeks, x will equal 4 to represent the amount of spores after 4 weeks. Plug the value into the function:
Rounded to the nearest ones value, there will be 985 mold spores after 4 weeks.
