Answer:

Explanation:

To find the value of x such that f(x) = g(x), we need to set the two functions equal to each other and solve for x.

First, let's define the variables:

f(x) = 2x² - x - 6 is a quadratic function with x as the variable.

g(x) = x² - 4 is also a quadratic function with x as the variable.

Now, to find the value of x such that f(x) = g(x), we set the two functions equal to each other:

2x² - x - 6 = x² - 4

Next, we simplify this equation by subtracting x² from both sides:

x² + x - 10 = 0

This is a quadratic equation, which we can solve for x using either the quadratic formula or by factoring.

Let's try factoring:

x² + x - 10 = (x + 5)(x - 2) = 0

So either x + 5 = 0 or x - 2 = 0. Solving for x, we find that:

x = -5 or x = 2

These are the two values of x such that f(x) = g(x).
