Question

Using a table of values, determine the solution to the equation below to the nearest fourth of a unit.

Answer 1

Answer:

Option A) is correct, x= -1.25

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all the equation is,$x+1=-3^{x}$

Plot both the graphs on one graph sheet.

$-3^{x}$ graph always lies below x axis, has value less than one in third quadrant.

Also, the graph $x+1$ has positive slope , intersecting above graph in third quadrant.

The, graph intersects at value whose x coordinate is negative, thus options B and D are eliminated.

Now, rest we can do by inserting either option A or option D.

By, graph also it is evident that, x is near to value -1.
