To estimate the solution to the equation \( 3 + 2^{3x} = 0 \) using an over/under table, we first need to rewrite the equation to focus on the term we can control, which is \( 2^{3x} \).
Rearranging gives us:
\[
2^{3x} = -3
\]
However, since \( 2^{3x} \) is always positive for any real \( x \), there will be no real solution to this equation since a positive quantity cannot be equal to a negative one.
That being said, if you meant a different equation, like \( 3 + 2^{3x} = k \) for some constant \( k \), please clarify, and I can create an over/under table for that scenario. For now, based on the current equation context, we conclude there are no solutions.
