Based on the graph below, what is the solution of the equation f(x) = g(x)?
graph of function f of x equals negative x plus 0.5 and graph of function g of x equals x squared plus 3 multiplied by x minus 4
x = −4 and x = 1
x = −5 and x = 0.9
x = −4 and x = 0.5
x = −5 and x = −0.5

solution is when f(x) = g(x)
set the functions equal and solve for x
OpenStudy (triciaal):
you have the graph just look where they cross and read off the x- values
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok but it crosses 2 times so I choose both times it crosses?
OpenStudy (triciaal):
yes

I think its D or B
OpenStudy (triciaal):
in addition to that look at the options
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I am going for D tho....
OpenStudy (triciaal):
look at the graph where do the lines cross
OpenStudy (anonymous):
-5 and a little before 1 so that is why anything would be 0.5 or 0.9

read the x-axis
OpenStudy (triciaal):
a little before +1
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Yes a little befroe +1
OpenStudy (anonymous):
*before
OpenStudy (triciaal):
so what is the correct solution
