Part A: Explain why the x-coordinates of the points where the graphs of the equations y = ^2−x and y = ^4x + 3 intersect are the solutions of the equation 2^−x = 4^x + 3. Part B: Make tables to find the solution to 2^−x = 4^x + 3. Take the integer values of x only between −3 and 3.

Part C: How can you solve the equation 2^−x = 4^x + 3 graphically?
