Question

Given the system below:

ƒ(x) = 2x
g(x) = 2x

Which value(s) of x make ƒ(x) = g(x) a true statement? If necessary, you may choose more than one answer.

0
1
2
3
4

Answer 1

B) x = 1

C) x = 4

Explanation:

Given:

f(x) = 2x

g(x) = 2^x

We have to find at what value of x, the above two functions are equal in value.

Now we have to check with the each options.

When x = 0, f(0) = 2(0) = 0 ; g(0) = 2^0 = 1 [Anything power 0, is 1]

When x = 1, f(1) = 2(1) = 2 ; g(1) = 2^1 = 2.

when x = 2, f(2) = 2(2) = 4; g(2) = 2^2 = 4

when x = 3, f(3) = 2(3) = 6, g(3) = 2^3 = 8

when x = 4, f(4) = 2(4) = 8, g(4) = 2^4 = 16

The two functions are equal in value when x = 1 and x = 2.
