Question

Let f(x)=x^2 - 5x +2 and g(x) = f(x-4)
Find the positive root of the equation f(x) = g(2)
this is a big extra credit question on a test tomorrow, if anyone thinks they can solve it, please help..

Answer 1

first, plug in for every x there is in f(x) (x-4). Then once you figure that out, u would say to urself, oka, whats g(2)? well, that would mean to plug in 2 for x, so that would make 6. then u plug in 6 for every x u see in f(x).
