Question

Shannon manages a small zoo and she has been analyzing the attendance data. Shannon finds that the number of visitors increases exponentially as the temperature increases, and this situation is represented by the function f(x) = 3x. Shannon also finds a linear equation that models the number of people who leave the park early depending on the change in temperature, and it is represented by f(x) = −x + 4. The graph of the two functions is below. Find the solution to the two functions and explain what the solution represents.

Answer 1

The solution would be the point where the two lines intersect. Which according to your graph would be the coordinate: (1,3)

Answer 2

I strongly believe that the solution represents the perfect temperature the zoo should be to have the most visitors possible.

Answer 3

Hope it helps! :)
