Question 867047: Hi, I have been stuck in these for a week please help
a.Draw an accurate graph of y = (1.7)ˣ , for -4 ≤ x ≤ 4

b. Use the graph to solve the equation (1.7)ˣ = 4

Answer by rothauserc(4718)   (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
y = (1.7)^x
we use the definition of logarithms to write
x = log base 1.7 of y
here is the graph of y = (1.7)^x

looks like x = 2.8 when y = 4
let's check using the logarithm equivalent
x = log base 1.7 (4)
x = 2.6
