Question

A graph of 2 functions is shown below.

Which of the following is an approximate solution for f(x) = g(x)?

Answers
A:x = 1
B:x = −1
C:x = −4
D:x = 2

Answer 1

Option: A is the correct answer.

x=1

Explanation:

We are given graphs of two functions:

f(x) and g(x) .

We are asked to find the approximate solution of the equation:

f(x)=g(x).

We know that the solution of the equation is the x-value of the point of intersection of the graphs of the two functions .

Clearly from the graph of the two functions we could observe that the functions intersect at x=1 and x= -2.5.

Hence, the approximate solution for f(x)=g(x) is:

Option: A (x=1)

Answer 2

Answer: A

Explanation:

Where does f(x) and g(x) intersect? at (-2.5, 7.5) and (1,0)

The first coordinate is not provided as an option. The second coordinate has an x-value of 1.
