Steve manages a skate park and he has been analyzing the attendance data. Steve finds that the number of visitors increases exponentially as the temperature increases, and this situation is represented by the function f(x) = 5x. Steve 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 + 6. The graph of the two functions is below. Find the solution to the two functions and explain what the solution represents.

x: temperature
f(x): number of people who are in the park
g(x): number of people leaving early.
if we solve them,
we set f(x)=g(x)
this means, the point of intersection is the temperature at which ALL the people in the park leave early
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Oo
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I'm not school today
OpenStudy (barrelracing):
so the answer would be f(x)=g(x)?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I going school on tomorrow

you need to solve f(x)=g(x)
i.e 5^x = -x+6
OpenStudy (anonymous):
That easy
OpenStudy (barrelracing):
ok hold on
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Lol

to solve them, just look at the graph, see where they intersect
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Omg
OpenStudy (anonymous):
If I was on my computer
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I could slove this 😥😥@baru
OpenStudy (barrelracing):
