Kylee manages a small theme park and she has been analyzing the attendance data. Kylee finds that the number of visitors increases exponentially as the temperature increases, and this situation is represented by the function f(x) = 4x. Kylee 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 + 5. The graph of the two functions is below. Find the solution to the two functions and explain what the solution represents.

janu16 · Answer

and its g(x)=-x+5 not f(x).. the question has a typo.

welshfella · Answer

you can read the solution from the graph - its the point where the graphs intersect

janu16 · Answer

ohok but what does the solution means

janu16 · Answer

and is the solution 1,4?

welshfella · Answer

it means that at the temperature where the graphs meet  the number of people arriving at the park equals the number leaving.

welshfella · Answer

yes  thats correct for the solution 
so at that temperature of 1 there are 4 people
