Question

Using a table of values, determine the solution to the equation below to the nearest fourth of a unit.

-x -5 = -2^(-x) + 2

x ≈ 2.25
x ≈ -2.5
x ≈ -2
x ≈ -2.25

Answer 1

it would be 2.25 b3cause you can't have negatives as a powered to -2

Answer 2

x ≈ -2.25

Explanation:

Given :
`-x -5 = -2^(-x) + 2`

To Find : Value of x

Solution:

`f(x)=-x-5` -- Black line

`g(x) = -2^(-x)+2` --Red line

Plot the given graphs on the graph

Refer the attached graph .

So, the intersection point provides the answer

Intersection point = (-2.248,-2.75)

So, x≈ -2.25

Hence the value of x is -2.25.
