The graphs of
f(x) = x⁵ and g(x) = 5x
are shown in the figure below.
The initial plot interval is -2 ≤ x ≤ 2.
In order to determine the points of intersection (to 1 decimal place accuracy) more graphs (shown in accompanying figures) were necessary.
The points of intersection are
x = -1.5, x = 0, and x = 1.5
Answer:
The points of intersection are x = -1.5, 0, and 1.5 (accurate to 1 decimal place)
