Use a graphing calculator, I would recommend desmos.

[nova merlin]

bare hands tell me 2 solutions. wbu

[dreamy bone]

Same.

I just confirmed it with desmos.

[past current]

yes i did that

[dreamy bone]

Then?

[past current]

then i got this

where do i go from here

[dreamy bone]

There are two lines hence there are two solutions.

[past current]

do i use the equation of a line

[dreamy bone]

Why?

[past current]

to find the solution

[dreamy bone]

See where the line is on the x axis.

[dreamy bone]

It appears to be between 0-2.

They asked till 4 decimal places, zoom in and approximate.

[past current]

so the x-intercepts are the solutions?

[dreamy bone]

Find the value of x for both the lines.

The value of x for the first line is constant, find that.

[past current]

using y=m(x1-x)+c?

[dreamy bone]

Just zoom in the graph.

[naive bay]

i got this

[dreamy bone]

You can also take the intersection points.

You will get the exact value.

[dreamy bone]

Thanks for helping @naive bay.

@dreamy bone has given 1 rep to @spring iris

[naive bay]

🙂

yay

[dreamy bone]

You can write that as 1.5443 rounded.

[dreamy bone]

Or this.

[naive bay]

ngl i was kinna confused on how we got thiss

[dreamy bone]

He didn't seperate the equals sign.

He wrote the same eqn the exact same way.

[naive bay]

oh

[dreamy bone]

You can approx that as 1.7744.

[past current]

just that? thats the solution?

[dreamy bone]

What else do you want?

[naive bay]

wait isnt this the thousands place?

[dreamy bone]

Four digits.

[past current]

Im asking you, because i dont know.

[dreamy bone]

They asked you to use technology to find the answer and approx up to 4 decimal places.

So that should be it.

[past current]

thanks

[naive bay]

???

[past current]

and thanks @naive bay

[dreamy bone]

What happened?

isnt the thousandths places the thrid digit after the decimal point

[dreamy bone]

It is?

[naive bay]

i mean intuitivel its four but what i learned in school its 3 digits

after decimal

[nova merlin]

u guys dont know its called the thousandth place

[naive bay]

nice banner

[nova merlin]

tenth hundreth thousandth

[dreamy bone]

You can write 3.7 as 37 × 10^-1.

The exponent indicates the wording.

You can write it as 37/10.

3.7

[nova merlin]

t hell

[dreamy bone]

Where 7 is the "ten's place."

[dreamy bone]

LOL I WROTE 37 = 3.7.

[naive bay]

uhhh

whaaa

ive learned 7 is the ones place 😭

[dreamy bone]

Ask this in the help thread instead, why occupy this dude's thread?

[naive bay]

its bc like i just wanted to make he got the right answer bc

[dreamy bone]

Then why did 10 and 100 come?

They asked for 4 digits.

We did it till 4 digits.

[naive bay]

l i dont to sound like im offended or defensive or smth idk just so u know

OH FRICK

IM ACTUALLY BLIND

BRUH

HEHEHE

.....

i just remembered the question as rounding to the thousands 💀

SRY 😅

[naive bay]

thx 😃
