Question

The graph below shows two functions.

function f of x is a straight line which joins the ordered pairs negative 2.8,16 and 3.5, negative 2.5. Function g of x is a curved line which joins the ordered pairs negative 1.9, 13.5 and 2.6, 0

Based on the graph, what are the approximate solutions to the equation –3x + 8 = (0.25)x?

1.9 and –2.6

8 and 2.6

1 and 2.6

–1.9 and 2.6

Answer 5

I'm not sure I understand the question. There are two functions, one linear, the other not, and each has two solutions given, and then the equation is meant to be an equivalent system representing f=g?

Answer 6

I think so

Answer 7

It says that function g is curved. (0.25)x does not represent a curved line.

Answer 8

Instead of this question could you help me out on another?

Answer 9

Actually, I have to leave now to get to my job. Reread the question to make sure you have all the parts of it. I think some information is missing.

Given the points on function f. -3x+8 is only an approximation to f. I'm not sure what g looks like . . .

Answer 10

I see the problem it did it again it wrote x instead of ^x but thank you anyway
