Suppose the function f has an initial value of 1,000 and a decay rate of 5%. Let the function g have an initial value of 400 and increase at a growth rate of 17%. Estimate a value of x, to the nearest tenth, for which f(x) = g(x).

4.4 years

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The equation of a exponential decay function is given by

where

a is the initial value

r is the rate of change

The equation of a exponential growth function is given by

where

a is the initial value

r is the rate of change

step 1

Find f(x)

in this problem we have

step 2

Find g(x)

in this problem we have

step 3

we have

solve the system by graphing

The solution is the x-coordinate of intersection point

using a graphing tool

The solution is x=4.4 years

well, you see here, jamal was born to 2 parents, his mother who he lives with and his father who left at a young age and who happens to be younger than him. he stole cookies because he has to steal food due to the fact that he spends his government poverty checks on pot and women.
