Can someone help for a medal and fan?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sure.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The graphs of four exponential functions are shown below:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Which pair of graphs should be plotted to show the solution to 1 over 2 (3)x = 2 (1 over 2)x?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1/2(3)x=1/2x?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

AW... sorry, wrong graph

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Or, picture I mean

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is that your equation?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thats the graph. Sorry XD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Close, there is a 2 infront of the second 1/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1.5x=x? (solved)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

.5x = 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x = 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, so the options are: Graphs P and Q Graphs Q and R Graphs R and S Graphs P and S Which one would it be?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I really have never done exponential functions yet soo.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Its okay :(

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

can you just repeat the question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The graphs of four exponential functions are shown below:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Which pair of graphs should be plotted to show the solution to 1 over 2 (3)x = 2 (1 over 2)x?

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

ok.... and

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thats it?

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

ok... so are the functions \[\frac{1}{2} (3)^x\] and \[2(\frac{1}{2})^x\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yup

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

ok... so you need to find where they intersect here is an easy solution. graph them using this site https://www.desmos.com/calculator just enter y = 1/2(3)^x and y = 2(1/2)^x

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

this will show where the point of intersection is...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So, do they intersect at 4,32?

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

no, here is my input, graphs and point of intersection

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Mine looked waaaayy different

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

do you think you can identify the 2 curves now

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, I typed it in again and I got the same as you now

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Probably.

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

ok, good luck

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Would the answer be graph Q and R?

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

have a look at the y-intercepts in the file I attached... they are 2 and 1/2 so I'd select P and S

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ooooh, okay. I see now. Thank you!
