Answer to Problem 9.9.1.3P

  $x=-6$

  $x=2$

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

  $14{(1.9)}^x=5.5x+33$

Calculation:

  $14{(1.9)}^x=5.5x+33$

Table

  

From table

At $x\approx -5.94$ ,

Then

  $14{(1.9)}^x=5.5x+33$

Left hand side equal to right hand side

At $x\approx 1.73$ ,

Then

  $14{(1.9)}^x=5.5x+33$

Left hand side equal to right hand side

These are points are the solution of the equation

Then approximate answer are

  $x=-6$

  $x=2$
