The graph shows the functions f(x), p(x), and g(x): Part A: What is the solution to the pair of equations represented by p(x) and f(x)? Part B: Write any two solutions for f(x) Part C: What is the solution to the equation p(x) = g(x)? Justify your answer.

OpenStudy (legomyego180):

A is going to be the value where p(x) and f(x) cross B is any y value on the line f(x) C is the X value where p(x) and g(x) meet Would you like for me to explain this further or do you understand?

OpenStudy (periodicninja):

well lat time i tried to justify my answer with that is where they intersect and that wasn't enough

OpenStudy (periodicninja):

@legomyego180

OpenStudy (periodicninja):

@legomyego180

OpenStudy (legomyego180):

For part A or C

OpenStudy (periodicninja):

c it says justify your answer

OpenStudy (periodicninja):

@legomyego180

OpenStudy (legomyego180):

\[p(1)=g(1)=3\]

OpenStudy (periodicninja):

what does that mean

OpenStudy (legomyego180):

Its just the notation. lets say: p(x)=2+x g(x)=4-x We can say that for both equations when we set x equal to one we will get an answer of three. so p(1)=2+1 = 3 g(1) = 4-1=3 or p(1)=g(1)=3

OpenStudy (legomyego180):

Thats just an example to illustrate it.

OpenStudy (periodicninja):

also for b would answer like x=whatever or f(x)=whatever @legomyego180

OpenStudy (periodicninja):

?

OpenStudy (periodicninja):

please someone

OpenStudy (legomyego180):

f(6)= blank is like saying: For the function / line f(x) if you plug 6 in for x you get blank for the value of y. Its like a machine. you plug some x value in you get some y value out - the graph is your map to show what you are going to get out. So: f(0)=-5 because where x=0 on the line f(x) y=-5 f(3)=1 f(5)=5 g(0)=2 because on the line g(x), when you look at x=0 y=2

OpenStudy (acespeedfighter):

Period how many a day?

OpenStudy (periodicninja):

what?

OpenStudy (periodicninja):

so anyway i say F(x)=what ever?

OpenStudy (periodicninja):

idk what i'm doing

OpenStudy (legomyego180):

i know the feeling

OpenStudy (legomyego180):

thats just another, more complicated way of saying they intersect. It just shows that you know what you're talking about a little better. Shows more detail

OpenStudy (periodicninja):

so these are answers? f(3)=1 f(5)=5 g(0)=2

OpenStudy (periodicninja):

for b

OpenStudy (periodicninja):

@legomyego180

@TheSmartOne @agent0smith @AceSpeedFighter

OpenStudy (periodicninja):

help

OpenStudy (periodicninja):

:(

OpenStudy (periodicninja):

i give up i don't understand

OpenStudy (periodicninja):

and none is helping

OpenStudy (periodicninja):

no one*******************

OpenStudy (periodicninja):

i'm just done

OpenStudy (periodicninja):

i need yet another break before i get pissed off again

OpenStudy (periodicninja):

such a screw up
