Farmers know that driving heavy equipment on wet soil compresses the soil and injures future crops. here are data on the "penetrability" of the same type of soil at two levels of compression. penetrability is a measure of how much resistance plant roots will meet when they try to grow through the soil. compressed soil 2.85 2.66 3 2.82 2.76 2.81 2.78 3.08 2.94 2.86 3.08 2.82 2.78 2.98 3.00 2.78 2.96 2.90 3.18 3.16 intermediate soil 3.17 3.37 3.1 3.40 3.38 3.14 3.18 3.26 2.96 3.02 3.54 3.36 3.18 3.12 3.86 2.92 3.46 3.44 3.62 4.26 use the data, omitting the high outlier, to give a 95% confidence interval for the decrease in penetrability of compressed soil relative to intermediate soil. compute degrees of freedom using the conservative method. interval: to

Part a: explain why the x-coordinates of the points where the graphs of the equations y = 2−x and y = 8x+4 intersect are the solutions of the equation 2−x = 8x+4. (4 points) part b: make tables to find the solution to 2−x = 8x+4. take the integer values of x between −3 and 3. (4 points) part c: how can you solve the equation 2−x = 8x+4 graphically? (2 points)

Solve for x. this is very confusing
