Question

(-2,1/16) (-1,1/4) ( 0,1) (1,4) (2,16) and (-1,3) (0,4) (1,5) (2,6) (3,7) At what value(s) of x are the values of these functions equal

Answer 1

The first set of coordinates are an exponential function where f(x) = 4^x and the second equation is a linear equation with a slope of 1.

Answer 2

Would there be no value of x where the function values are equal to one another? I plotted the graph and there is no 2 points that are equal and if you draw a line there is only 1 intersection point at (1,4)

Answer 3

What is the value of first fnction at x = 1 ?

Answer 4

I believe it would be 4.

Answer 5

Yes, we plot the value of function on `y` axis.
`y` coordinate is the value of the function.

Answer 6

Ah, okay.

Answer 7

What is the value of the second function at x = 0 ?

Answer 8

4 as well.

Answer 9

That means both functions have the same value 4.

Answer 10

That same value occurs when x = 1 for the function and x = 0 for the second function.

Answer 11

Oh. I didn't think it was that simple.

Answer 12

Thank you for the help.

Answer 13
