Use a graphing device to find all solutions of the equation, rounded to two decimal places. (Enter your answers as a comma-separated list.) 2^(−x) = x − 4
uh, so use a graphing calculator and the build in zero function to find the roots thats what i think your question is asking for
im not sure thats all the question says and 0,4 is incorrect
was the original problem y=x^2 +x-4 ? cause you need to graph that not whatever contraption you have written down
its exactly what i have written down
and its negative 2 not positive
*-x but i just copy and pasted the problem
wait, so the problem looks like \[2^{-x}=x-4\]
yes
oh ok, just move the 2^-x over to the right side so youll get 0= -2^(-x)+x-4 and graph y=-2^(-x)+x-4 since finding the root means setting y=0 and solving for the solutions of x
I'm going to draw the graph and see what I get.
The instruction to find all solutions is what we need to think upon. I see the one real root on the graph but am unsure about how to interpret the general solution, @cailindevereux
