Problema Solution
What is the smallest, positive integer value of x such that the value of f(x) = 2^x+3 exceeds the value of g(x) = 50x+5
Answer provided by our tutors
We can see the solution if we graph f(x) = 2^x+3 and g(x) = 50x+5.
We notice that for x = 0 we have:
2^0 + 3 = 4
50*0 + 5 = 5
and 4 < 5
Since both functions are increasing follows that there is no such positive value for x such that f(x) = 2^x+3 exceeds the value of g(x) = 50x+5
