hint: the two will intersect when they have a point in common (ie this point is on both graphs)

ranga · Answer

You are given three points on g(x): (-2, 4) ; (-1, 1) ; (0, -2)

See if you can spot any of these three points on the graph of f(x).

I didn't even see that, I was going the wrong way on the graph. Thanks!
