Question

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

Answer 1

f(x) = 2(3)x

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

Answer 2

g(x) = 3x + 9
x g(x)
-2 9.11
-1 9.33
0 10
1 12
2 18

Answer 3

Based on the tables, what is the solution to the equation 2(3)x = 3x + 9?

Answer 4

x = 0

x = 2

x = 12

x = 18

Answer 5

@undeadknight26 can you help or you dont know this?

Answer 6

I really have no idea what this question is asking...I get x=3 though...

Answer 7

neither do i :(

Answer 9

Basically, the question is asking you the values of \(x\) for which \(f(x) = g(x)\).

Answer 10

Look at the table. For which value of \(x\) in the table are \(f(x)\) and \(g(x)\) the same?

Answer 11

2 18?

Answer 12

That's right!

So the solution is \(x =2\).

Answer 13

oh, thanks :)

Answer 14

i think problem is f(x)=g(x)
based on the tables
\[f(x)=2\left( 3 \right)x=2\left( 3 \right)^x\]
\[g \left( x \right)=3x+9=3^x+9\]
f(x)=g(x) gives
\[2*3^x=3^x+9\]
\[2*3^x-3^x=9\]
\[\left( 2-1 \right)3^x=9=3^2,3^x=3^2,x=2\]
