How do you find the intercept of two exponential functions?
\n" ); document.write( "y=1000*2^(0.1x)
\n" ); document.write( "y=16000*2^(-1/6x)
\n" ); document.write( "-----------
\n" ); document.write( "The both equal y
\n" ); document.write( "1000*2^(0.1x) = 16000*2^(-1/6x)
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2%5E%280.1x%29+=+16%2A2%5E%28-1%2F6x%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "If the exponent is (-1/6)x:
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply by $\"2%5E%28-x%2F6%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2%5E%282x%2F15%29+=+16\"$
\n" ); document.write( "16 = 2^4
\n" ); document.write( "2x/15 = 4
\n" ); document.write( "x = 30
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
