Solving Exponential Equations Graphically
Given the function $\displaystyle {f{{\left({x}\right)}}}={170}{\left({1.07}\right)}^{{x}}$ find x when $\displaystyle {f{{\left({x}\right)}}}={255}$ 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 = 8, Ymin = 120, Ymax = 265] 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 $\displaystyle {y}={255}$. Use the Exponential Tool to draw $\displaystyle {f{{\left({x}\right)}}}={170}{\left({1.07}\right)}^{{x}}$. Use the Point Tool to identify the point of intersection.
$\displaystyle {170}{\left({1.07}\right)}^{{x}}={255}$ Point of Intersection: Clear All Draw:
