Question

Based on the graph below, what are the solutions to the equation f(x) = g(x)?

x = -3, 0.8, 4
x = -1.9, 0.8, 4.1
x = -2, 2, 3
x = -2.5, 0.8, 3

Answer 1

Its either B or C, I just can't tell which one cx

Answer 2

by "solutions" they are referring to the intersection points that g(x) and f(x) have.

Answer 3

So it's B?

Answer 4

Well, It looks like it
Its around where they intersect

Answer 5

wait, then these aren't points then.
No sorry, it is referring to y-intercepts.

Answer 6

yes, be it intersections of the 2 functions then the would put points, like (a,b).
not just sets of numbers.

Answer 7

I am ddump

Answer 8

they are wording it like this x= a , b, c,

tell just at x=what? do the f(x) and g(x) intersect.

Answer 9

Well
That's why I was confused by B and C
I was deciding whether it was asking for the x or the zeroes

Answer 10

it is asking the x-coordinates at which the intersections of the functions are.

Answer 11

\(f(x)=g(x)\quad\Longleftrightarrow\quad f(x)-g(x)=0\)

So you need values of x where intersection occurs, where value of f(x) and g(x) are equal.

Answer 12

Like what SolomonZelman said.

Answer 13

Oh ok!
So, the one that seems like it has the points closest to the intersections is B
-1.9, 0.8, 4.1

Answer 14

maybe. I am just not sure about how approximately they draw it. But the intersection next to -2, is for sure a bit less than -2.

Answer 15

I mean a bit more, like -1.9 , -1.8 or something of this sort

Answer 16

Yea, They should clarify it better cx

Answer 17

I guess you are correct most likely. I am pretty sure being that I can exclude the rest o fthe choices, the way you did.

Answer 18

I had this type of thing in Goegraphy in middle school. Like magnitute approximations.

Answer 19

my grammar -:( ....

Answer 20

Haha cx

Answer 21

anyways, you chose your answer, it should be the right one:)

Answer 22

Yes, Thank You c:

Answer 23

Not a problem!
