Two functions are shown in the table below:Function: | 123456f(x) = −x2 + 4x + 12 |g(x) = x + 2 |Complete the table on your own paper, then select the value that is a solution to f(x) = g(x).

Okay, here we have this:

Considering the provided functions, we are going to complete the requested table, so we obtain the following:

f(1):

f(x) = −x² + 4x + 12

f(1) = −1² + 4(1) + 12

f(1) = −1 + 4 + 12

f(1) = 15

f(2):

f(x) = −x² + 4x + 12

f(2) = −2² + 4(2) + 12

f(2) = −4 + 8 + 12

f(2) = 16

f(3):

f(x) = −x² + 4x + 12

f(3) = −3² + 4(3) + 12

f(3) = −9 + 12 + 12

f(3) = 15

f(4):

f(x) = −x² + 4x + 12

f(4) = −4² + 4(4) + 12

f(4) = −16 + 16 + 12

f(4) = 12

f(5):

f(x) = −x² + 4x + 12

f(5) = −5² + 4(5) + 12

f(5) = −25 + 20 + 12

f(5) = 7

f(6):

f(x) = −x² + 4x + 12

f(6) = −6² + 4(6) + 12

f(6) = −36 + 24 + 12

f(6) = 0

g(1):

g(x)=x+2

g(1)=1+2

g(1)=3

g(2):

g(x)=x+2

g(2)=2+2

g(2)=4

g(3):

g(x)=x+2

g(3)=3+2

g(3)=5

g(4):

g(x)=x+2

g(4)=4+2

g(4)=6

g(5):

g(x)=x+2

g(5)=5+2

g(5)=7

g(6):

g(x)=x+2

g(6)=6+2

g(6)=8

And now we will proceed to find the solution of f(x)=g(x):

f(x)=g(x)

−x² + 4x + 12=x+2

−x² + 3x + 10=0

-(x+2)(x-5)=0

Then:

x+2=0 or x-5=0

x=-2 or x=5

Finally we obtain that the values that are solution to f(x)=g(x) are -2 and 5. Then the correct answer is the third option.
