Question

The tables below show the values of f(x) and g(x) for different values of x.

f(x) = 2(3)x

x f(x)
-2 0.22
-1 0.67
0 2
1 6
2 18


g(x) = 3x + 3
x g(x)
-2 3.11
-1 3.33
0 4
1 6
2 12


Based on the tables, what is the solution to the equation 2(3)x = 3x + 3?
x = -1

x = 0

x = 1

x = 6

im confused i tried this already...but didn't get anything...

Answer 4

It would be easier to decipher if you used an ^ to show x is an exponent.
Better, use the equation editor
\[ f(x) = 2\cdot 3^x \]

Answer 5

they are asking for the solution to
\[ 2(3^x)= 3x + 3 \]

Answer 6

the "solution" would be the same (x, y) pair for both functions.
in other words, find the (x, f(x)) pair that matches (x, g(x))

Answer 7

i got 6...is that right?

Answer 8

6 is the y value, they want the x value
