Answer 1

The graph below shows two functions:



Based on the graph, what are the approximate solutions to the equation –3x + 8 = (0.25)^x?

A. 1.9 and –2.6
B. 8 and 2.6
C .1 and 2.6
D. –1.9 and 2.6

Answer 2

find the coordinates of the points of intersection

Answer 3

how is it - 2, 14?

Answer 4

there is actually very little work to do here
it is about \((-2,14)\) for the first one, but that is not an answer choice, the answer choice is somewhat more precise

Answer 5

ok

Answer 6

oops i meant \(-2\) and \(14\)

Answer 7

you are solving for \(x\) so it is the first coordinate only
looks like the first one (one on the left ) is somewhat greater than -2, go with -1.9

Answer 8

ok makes sense

Answer 9

but I don't understand how they got the 2.6

Answer 10

I think its D but how did they get the 2.6

Answer 11

look at the first coordinate of the point of intersection on the right

Answer 12

ok

Answer 13

So wait is it A?

Answer 14

the first coordinate of that point is approx 2.6, that is how they got it
and no, it is not A

Answer 15

ok
