Solving Exponential Equations Graphically
Given the function $\displaystyle {f{{\left({x}\right)}}}={500}{\left({1.04}\right)}^{{x}}$ find x when $\displaystyle {f{{\left({x}\right)}}}={750}$ using your graphing calculator. Then follow the steps below to show the intersection graph on the computer. [Hint: Use the following window on your graphing calculator: Xmin = -5, Xmax = 13, Ymin = 450, Ymax = 760] Write the point of intersection as an ordered pair below. Round the value of $\displaystyle {x}$ to two decimal places. Use the Line Tool to draw the Horizontal Line $\displaystyle {y}={750}$. Use the Exponential Tool to draw $\displaystyle {f{{\left({x}\right)}}}={500}{\left({1.04}\right)}^{{x}}$. Use the Point Tool to identify the point of intersection.
$\displaystyle {500}{\left({1.04}\right)}^{{x}}={750}$ Point of Intersection: Clear All Draw:
