The area, A, of a forest, in acres, is modeled by the equation A = 5000 (5/4)d where d is the number of decades since the beginning of the year 1950. What is the area of the forest in 1940?

Part a: explain why the x-coordinates of the points where the graphs of the equations y = 2−x and y = 8x+4 intersect are the solutions of the equation 2−x = 8x+4. (4 points) part b: make tables to find the solution to 2−x = 8x+4. take the integer values of x between −3 and 3. (4 points) part c: how can you solve the equation 2−x = 8x+4 graphically? (2 points)
