Question

Shannon manages a small zoo and she has been analyzing the attendance data. Shannon finds that the number of
visitors increases exponentially as the temperature increases, and this situation is represented by the function f(x)=3*.
Shannon 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) = -× + 4. The graph of the two functions is below. Find the solution
to the two functions and explain what the solution represents. (10 points)

Answer 1

The functions are graphed, so you can simply look at the intersection to find the solution.

As for the real-life meaning of the solution, think about what x and f(x) represent in each function.
