1. Use the table of values to find an approximate solution for f of x equals g of x.

A three-column table with headings x, f of x, and g of x in the top row. Column one has the four numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4 under x. Column two has the four numbers negative 1.5, 1, 3.5, and 6 under f of x. Column three has the four numbers 8, 6, 4, and 2 under g of x.

a. When f(x) = g(x), x is between 2 and 3.
b. When f(x) = g(x), x is between 3 and 4.
c. When f(x) = g(x), x has to be x > 4.
d. There is no solution. f(x) cannot equal g(x).

2. Complete the table below to solve the equation 2 x plus 12 equals 4 raised to the x power.

A three-column table with x, f of x equals 2 x plus 12, and g of x equals 4 raised to the x power. Column one, the numbers negative 2, negative 1, 0, 1, and 2 appear under x. The rest of the table is blank.

a. x = 0
b. x = 1
c. x = 2
d. x = 16
