Answer 1

To solve the equation 5.5^(3x) = 805 by graphing, you can follow these steps:

1. Enter the equation into the graphing calculator: y = 5.5^(3x) - 805

2. Set the window settings to x values ranging from -10 to 10 and y values ranging from -1000 to 1000.

3. Graph the equation.

4. Use the trace function or the intersect function to find the x-coordinate where the graph intersects the y = 0 line (since we are solving for x).

After performing these steps, the graphing calculator will give you the approximate x-coordinate where the equation intersects the y = 0 line. Rounding the answer to the nearest hundredth, the solution is approximately 2.91.

So, the correct answer is 2.91.
