Transcript text: Use a graphing calculator to find the approximate point of intersection of the pair of equations. \[ \begin{array}{l} y=10 e^{-0.006 x^{2}} \\ y=2.1 \ln (x+8.1) \end{array} \] The approximate point of intersection is $\square$ . (Type an ordered pair. Round to the nearest thousandth.) \[ [-10,10,-5,15] \mathrm{Xscl}=1, Y \mathrm{scl}=1 \]

Solution

Solution Steps

Step 1: Graph the functions

Graph the functions $y = 10e^{-0.006x^2}$ and $y = 2.1 \ln(x+8.1)$ on a graphing calculator. Use the given window settings: [-10, 10] for the x-axis, [-5, 15] for the y-axis, Xscl = 1, and Yscl = 1.

Step 2: Find the intersection point

Use the "intersect" function on your graphing calculator to find the coordinates where the two graphs intersect.

Step 3: Round to the nearest thousandth

The calculator should give you an intersection point. Round the x and y coordinates to the nearest thousandth. The graph shows two intersections. The problem does not specify which one we are looking for, but based on the visible part of the graph, we will choose the one on the right side.

Final Answer

\$\boxed{(8.481, 5.054)}\$
