Answer:

C. x = -1 ; x ~8.1

Explanation:

First we graph
f(x)= -√(x+2) -3

Here we have x+2 under the square root. x+2>=0, x>=-2

So we take some x values greater than -2 and find out f(x) to make a table for graphing

x f(x)

-2
-√(-2+2) -3=-3

-1 -4

2 -5

Graph it and extent the graph

Now we graph
g(x)= -2|x-3| + 4

Given equation is in the form of g(x) = a|x-h| + k

where (h,k) is the vertex

here h= 3 and k = 4, so vertex is (3,4)

Now make a table, pick some numbers for x less than and greater than vertex

x y

-1
-2|-1-3| + 4=-4

0
-2|0-3| + 4=-2

3 4

6 -2

Both graphs are attached below

The graph of f(x) and g(x) interests at x= -1 and x=8.1
