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.

like put them in X?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Yes, plug them in. In all honesty, it would be much quicker than doing it by hand.

@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

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

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

I got 0.978.. what did u get?
OpenStudy (mertsj):
Same as you.
OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (mertsj):
No repeat the process for 80
OpenStudy (anonymous):

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

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
