Let f(x) = 2x and g(x) = 2^x. Graph the functions on the same coordinate plane. What are the solutions to the equation f(x) = g(x) ? Enter your answers in the boxes. x = ______ or x = _________

mikewwe13:

the answer is 0

Vocaloid:

the x-coordinate of the solution is not 0 look at the point where the solution is, go straight down, and identify the corresponding x value take your time

Vocaloid:

I would recommend reviewing how to read a point on a graph

mikewwe13:

-4

Vocaloid:

find the point(s) where the blue line and the red line cross each other go straight down (do NOT go left or right) then identify the x value

mikewwe13:

-6 and 0

Vocaloid:

put your finger on the point where the red line and blue line cross each other move your finger straight down

mikewwe13:

1

Vocaloid:

|dw:1515690762502:dw|

Vocaloid:

good, x = 1 now repeat this process with the other point

Vocaloid:

|dw:1515690815578:dw|

mikewwe13:

x = 1 or x = 4

Vocaloid:

good, those are your two solutions.

mikewwe13:

correct ?

Vocaloid:

yes.

mikewwe13:

What is the solution to f(x) = g(x) ? Select each correct answer. x= −1 x = 0 x = 1 x = 2 x = 3 x = 4 x = 5

Vocaloid:

select each row of the table where f(x) and g(x) are equal please look slowly and carefully before making your answer spend at least 15 seconds on this

mikewwe13:

-1, 0, and 3

Vocaloid:

please try again

Vocaloid:

f(x) and g(x) have to be EQUAL

mikewwe13:

0 and 3

Vocaloid:

one more time. f(x) and g(x) must have the SAME number in the box

mikewwe13:

oh -3

Vocaloid:

good, so what x-values match with 0 and -3? look in the left column of the table

mikewwe13:

-1 and 0

Vocaloid:

|dw:1515691498844:dw|

Vocaloid:

|dw:1515691504395:dw|

mikewwe13:

0 and 2

Vocaloid:

good, so x = 0 and x = 2 are your solutions.

mikewwe13:

https://static.k12.com/nextgen_media/assets/8090411-NG_AL1_L_01_U09_Quiz_20.png The functions f(x) = −2x + 2 and g(x) = (1/3)^x + 1 are shown in the graph. What are the solutions to −2x + 2 = (1/3)^x + 1? Select each correct answer. −1 0 2 3 4

mikewwe13:

-1 and 3 correct me if i'm wrong

Vocaloid:

when you are looking for solutions you should be looking where the two lines cross each other.

Vocaloid:

|dw:1515691756769:dw|

Vocaloid:

|dw:1515691762767:dw|

mikewwe13:

4 and 2

Vocaloid:

x-values, not y-values

Vocaloid:

remember our rule before pick the point go straight down to the x-axis select the correct x value

mikewwe13:

3 and 2

Vocaloid:

|dw:1515692019697:dw|

Vocaloid:

then go straight down to the x-axis ( do not go left or right ) what is the x-value you touch?

mikewwe13:

2

Vocaloid:

please move your finger down to the x-axis

mikewwe13:

3

Vocaloid:

|dw:1515692116423:dw|

Vocaloid:

see how we moved DOWN not left or right?

Vocaloid:

now, we have moved down and we are touching the x-axis what x-value are we touching right now?

mikewwe13:

and 0

Vocaloid:

good

mikewwe13:

my computer acted up again

Vocaloid:

now we repeat the same process for the other x-value

Vocaloid:

|dw:1515692218349:dw|

mikewwe13:

3

Vocaloid:

put your finger on the point go straight DOWN and do NOT go left or right.

Vocaloid:

what x-value do you reach? please spend at least 15 seconds before you answer

mikewwe13:

0 and 4

Vocaloid:

step 1: put your finger on the point step 2: go down step 3: stop when you touch the x-axis

mikewwe13:

-1

mikewwe13:

oh there

Vocaloid:

good, so your answers are x = -1 and x = 0.

mikewwe13:

thank you so much for help and btw i know i seem much for trouble for you because see all the schools i've been to haven't been good schools and i barely knew math that much and a lot that's happened but i want to apologize for giving a hard time and not getting it right please forgive me because i wanted you to know that

Vocaloid:

it's fine, don't worry about it
