Answer:

For
x = 3 the value of
f(x) = 2\cdot x^(2)+9 will be the same of
g(x) = 3^(x).

Explanation:

To determine for which value of
x, we need to apply the following identity (
f(x) = g(x)) and solve numerically the resulting expression:


2\cdot x^(2)+9 = 3^(x)


3^(x)-2\cdot x^(2)-9=0 (1)

A quick approach is using graphic tool and looking for the value of
x such that
3^(x)-2\cdot x^(2)-9=0. The result of the analysis is included below in the attached image. We find the following result:


x = 3

For
x = 3 the value of
f(x) = 2\cdot x^(2)+9 will be the same of
g(x) = 3^(x).

For which the value of f(x) = 2x^2 + 9 will be the same as g(x) = 3^x?-example-1
