Which of the following is an approximate solution for f(x) = g(x)? A. x= -2 B. x= 0 C. x= -1 D. x= 1

Mehek (mehek14):

where do they intersect?

Mehek (mehek14):

they intersect at 3 different places

Mehek (mehek14):

can you tell me the order pairs?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok one second

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(-1,0)...

Mehek (mehek14):

correct that's one of them what's the x value in (-1,0)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-1

Mehek (mehek14):

that's your answer

Mehek (mehek14):

the other solutions are x = -2.5 and x = 1.5 however, they aren't in your choices the only one that is is x = -1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(-3.75,-2.75) is the second coordinate and the third is around (2.5,3)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh ok thank you! I get it now

Mehek (mehek14):

your welcome ^_^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can you help me on one more? @Mehek14

Mehek (mehek14):

yea sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok so I know you told me when the two lines intersect, you get the coordinates and the x value to find the solution...so would the answer to the question I am about to put be A.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

For two functions, f(x) and g(x), a statement is made that f(x) = g(x) at x = 5. What is definitely true about x = 5? A. Both f(x) and g(x) cross the x-axis at 5. B. Both f(x) and g(x) cross the y-axis at 5. C. Both f(x) and g(x) have a maximum or minimum value at x = 5. D. Both f(x) and g(x) have the same output value at x = 5

Mehek (mehek14):

is this with the same graph?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No

OpenStudy (anonymous):

There is no graph for this question

Mehek (mehek14):

ok so if they are equal, that means they are the same number

Mehek (mehek14):

when x = 5 \(f(5) = g(5)\)

Mehek (mehek14):

meaning their outputs are the same

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh ok

Mehek (mehek14):

you want an example?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes please

Mehek (mehek14):

ok let's say your equations are \(f(x)=2x+11\\g(x)=3x+6\)

Mehek (mehek14):

and they say x = 5

Mehek (mehek14):

\(f(x) = 2*5+11\\2*5=10\\10+11=21\\f(x)=21\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh i see...

Mehek (mehek14):

\(g(x)=3*5+6\\3*5=15\\15+6=21\\g(x)=21\)

Mehek (mehek14):

so \(f(x)=g(x)\) because when you put x = 5 for both equations, they both have the same answer = 21

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Omg i get it! Thank you so much!!!!!!!
