Question

Assume f(x) = g(x). Which of the following two functions may be used to represent the function 3x = x – 4? *

1 point
A) f(x) = 3x, g(x) = x – 4
B) f(x) = x – 7, g(x) = x – 4/3
C) f(x) = 3x, g(x) = 3x
D) f(x) = 7, g(x) = 3x

Answer 1

Since we know that the two functions are equal, f (x) = g (x), therefore when we equate the two equations the result should be similar to 3x = x – 4:

A. f(x) = 3x, g(x) = x – 4

Equating the two functions:

3x = x – 4 (correct)

So we now got our answer (A)
