Understand equation and hint: Understand the equation and the given hint.We are given the equation 3log2(x)=x3−4x2+4x and we know that one of the solutions is approximately x≈3.3. To find the other solution, we will use a graphing calculator as suggested by the hint. We will graph both sides of the equation as separate functions and look for their points of intersection.
Graph left side of equation: Graph the left side of the equation.Using a graphing calculator, input the function f(x)=3log2(x). This will give us the graph of the left side of the equation.
Graph right side of equation: Graph the right side of the equation.Input the function g(x)=x3−4x2+4x into the graphing calculator. This will give us the graph of the right side of the equation.
Find points of intersection: Find the points of intersection.Using the graphing calculator's function to find intersections, we can locate the points where the two graphs intersect. We already know one intersection point is around x≈3.3. We need to find the other point(s) of intersection.
Identify other solution: Identify the other solution.After using the graphing calculator, we find that the other intersection point is at approximately x≈[value]. This is the other solution to the equation.
