Question

Algebra 2 Help!

Jackie is analyzing a quadratic function f(x) and a linear function g(x). Will they intersect?

(I'm attaching a picture of the graph)

Answer 1

No, I don't think that they will. The line has a slope of y=-x, and it misses the parabola. completely in the range that you've given us. o.o I could be wrong now that I think of it.

Answer 2

Yes, correct, they will not intersect.

Answer 3

So, are you both saying that it is option D? @halorazer @SolomonZelman

Answer 4

Yes, yes we are.

Answer 5

Yes...

Answer 6

Thanks (:

Answer 7

OPTIONAL:

OK, I just want to ask you, what if I had f(x)=1 as my linear function would you say intersect or don't ?

Answer 8

...no?

Answer 9

HINT: "f(x)" is just a substitute for "y"

So when you say f(x)=1, you are just saying y=1

Answer 10

go ahead please .... I didn't mean to interrupt you...

Answer 11

I was just going to say okay

Answer 12

okay, like "they will intersect" or what ?

Answer 13

They will

Answer 14

Yes...

Answer 15

Thanks (:

Answer 16

yw :) for your q, and my optional one. Good luck !
