Find the value of k Thanks-example-1

Explanation:

the picture is so fuzzy, I can hardly read the details.

I suspect the orange line is

f(x) = 6^x

the black line is

g(x) = 6^x + k⁵

to find k we simply create

(g - f)(x) = 6^x + k⁵ - 6^x = k⁵

as we can see, the difference (up/down distance) between both functions is a constant k⁵.

the best and most reliably we can see and calculate that difference at x = 0 :

2

k⁵ = 2


k = \sqrt[5]{2}

which is 1.148698355...

but I see, I might have misunderstood the 5 of the coordinate axis as exponent of k.

so, the function might be

g(x) = 6^x + k

and then

the difference is simply k, and

k = 2
