Part A: Explain why the x-coordinates of the points where the graphs of the equations y = 2−^x and y = 4^x + ^3 intersect are the solutions of the equation 2−^x = 4^x + ^3. (4 points)

Part B: Make tables to find the solution to 2−^x = 4^x + ^3. Take the integer values of x only between −3 and 3. (4 points)

Part C: How can you solve the equation 2−^x = 4^x + ^3 graphically? (2 points)

what do you think

lolbunny · Answer

I think part A is "The x-coordinates of the points where the graphs of the equations y = 2−^x and y = 4^x + ^3 intersect are the solutions of the equation because it is where the lines intersect.  The solution that will satisfy both equations would be 2-^x=4^x+3."  That is all I have so far

part a seems right

lolbunny · Answer

I am having trouble with part B.  I cannot seem to find a point where both equations are equal.
