Consider functions f and g. f(x) = (1/2)^x + 1 g(x) = log(x - 1) + 1 Using three iterations of successive approximation, what is the approximate solution where f(x) = g(x)? Use the graph as a starting point. HINT: It's not B. GRAPH BELOW A. x ≈ 41/16
B. x ≈ 19/8
C. x ≈ 39/16
D. x ≈ 21/8

infinitely many solutions

step-by-step explanation:

we have been given the equation;

2(2x + 3) = -4 + 2(2x + 5)

we need to determine the value of x.

2(2x + 3), we expand this expression to obtain 4x + 6

similarly 2(2x + 5) will become 4x + 10

now we have;

4x + 6 = -4 + 4x + 10

4x + 6 = 4x + 10 - 4

4x + 6 = 4x + 6

the expression on the left hand side is identical to the one on the right hand side. therefore, we are looking at just a single straight line whose equation is;

y = 4x + 6

consequently, we shall have infinitely many solutions

x = -5
