Question
I solved the first parts of this but can not figure out how to get the approximation on the calculator.
![**Transformation of the Exponential Function**
The function \( y = -3^x + 10 \) can be obtained from the graph of \( y = 3^x \).
**Transformations:**
- **Reflection:** It reflects the graph across the x-axis.
- **Vertical Shift:** Shifts 10 units up.
**Graph:**
- The graph of \( y_1 = 3^x \) and \( y_2 = -3^x + 10 \) are plotted. The x-axis ranges from \([-5, 5]\) and the y-axis ranges from \([-15, 15]\).
**Use of Calculator:**
- Use a calculator to find an approximation for the zero of the function \( y_2 \) in the above section of the graph.
- The equations are:
- \( y_1 = 3^x \)
- \( y_2 = -3^x + 10 \)
**Precision Required:**
- 8 decimal spaces needed for the calculation.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F3fa757ec-9ef0-41e2-a2d2-ee98e8402c6d%2F9afea330-2d9c-4b07-8079-5a9025c6db5f%2Fg9s0snu_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
