help please. let me attach the question.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Equate the two functions and solve for x and stop cheating on your exam.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its not an exam. its just a name on my doc. how can I do that

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Use an equal sign between the two functions.

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Or since you have a list of answers you could plug each answer into both functions and see which one causes the two functions to have the same value.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

like put them in X?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, plug them in. In all honesty, it would be much quicker than doing it by hand.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

like this? (74)^2+5(74)+4/(74)^2+6(74)-7-/(74) ?? @BrainGamer706

OpenStudy (mertsj):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I didn't get any.. nothings same

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Mertsj

OpenStudy (mertsj):

What did you get for f(74)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

6282.98

OpenStudy (mertsj):

You need to check your arithmetic. I imagine you just type it into a calculator without paying attention to order of operations. Am I right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do I need to change it to degrees? not radians? no I did it right

OpenStudy (mertsj):

What do degrees and radians have to do with this problem where we are talking about weeks?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what did you get for f(74)??

OpenStudy (mertsj):

\[74^2+6(74)+4=5924\]

OpenStudy (mertsj):

\[74^2+6(74)-7=5913\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok whats next? what about 1/74

OpenStudy (mertsj):

\[\frac{5924}{5913}=1.00186\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1.00186-1/74?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

\[1.00186-\frac{1}{74}=1.00186-.01351=.988\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

where did you get .01351 from?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

1/74

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but I got 0.988346??

OpenStudy (mertsj):

And if you round .988346 to the nearest thousandth, what do you get?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh .988.. ok whats next?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Find the g(74)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok hold on.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got 0.978.. what did u get?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Same as you.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok its not the same..

OpenStudy (mertsj):

No repeat the process for 80

OpenStudy (anonymous):

.988 and .978??

OpenStudy (mertsj):

No. It's not the same but it is pretty close. So keep track of your results so at the end you can choose the ones that are the closest.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok! so it is A.

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Both of those would round to 1 million.

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Did you check all the others or why do you say it is A?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

bc its probably the closest one

OpenStudy (mertsj):

If I were taking an exam, as you are, I would want to get the right answer...not the one that is "probably the closest one".

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so its not A?? is that what youre trying to say?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

I do not know which answer it is. I have not checked the others. That is YOUR job. It is YOUR exam.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then don't act like its the answer next time. thanks
