The graph shows the functions f(x), p(x), and g(x):

Graph of function g of x is y is equal to 3 multiplied by 1.2 to the power of x. The straight line f of x joins ordered pairs minus 3, minus 3 and 4, 4 and is extended on both sides. The straight line p of x joins the ordered pairs minus 6, 1 and minus 3, minus 3 and is extended on both sides.

Part A: What is the solution to the pair of equations represented by p(x) and f(x)? (3 points)

Part B: Write any two solutions for f(x). (3 points)

Part C: What is the solution to the equation p(x) = g(x)? Justify your answer. (4 points)

You can see that p(x) and f(x) share 1 same ordered pair which is the solution. What is that ordered pair ?

imreallyasiren · Answer

The ordered pair is (-3,-30). I need some help on part C please, sorry i didn't mention that.

math&ing001 · Answer

(-3,-3)*
Are you allowed to use a graph to justify for C ?

imreallyasiren · Answer

No i am not, i have to describe it.

math&ing001 · Answer

Well basically it doesn't have a solution, because the graphs never meet.

imreallyasiren · Answer

Ahh, that makes a lot of sense.

imreallyasiren · Answer

thank you for the help.
