    Section 3.3
    Question 17

    20211021_032322.jpg

    1. How do I approximate a point of intersection by looking at this graph?

    2. To equate f(x) = g(x) means to do this:

    2^x = 8

    Yes?

    How do I approximate a point of intersection by looking at this graph, any graph?

    you look first how long is each unit
    in your example you can see that units on x and y axis go -4,-2,0,2,4 and approximate a point of intersection is at (2,2)
