f(x)=x^x +(5−x)^(5−x) −31  Graphing technique can be used  to find approx value.

$${f}\left({x}\right)={x}^{{x}} +\left(\mathrm{5}−{x}\right)^{\mathrm{5}−{x}} −\mathrm{31} \\ $$$$\mathrm{Graphing}\:\mathrm{technique}\:\mathrm{can}\:\mathrm{be}\:\mathrm{used} \\ $$$$\mathrm{to}\:\mathrm{find}\:\mathrm{approx}\:\mathrm{value}. \\ $$
