Answer 2

The solution for f(x) = g(x) are;

x = 1 and x = -1

Explanation:

The given equations for the functions, g(x) are;

`f(x) = (1 + 2\cdot x)/(x)`

g(x) = 2 + x

The solution for f(x) = g(x), is given by equating the equations of the two functions as follows;

When f(x) = g(x), we have;

`(1 + 2\cdot x)/(x) = 2 + x`

By cross multiplication, we have;

1 + 2·x = x × (2 + x) = 2·x + x²

∴ x² + 2·x - 2·x - 1 = 0

x² - 1 = 0

(x - 1)·(x + 1) = 0

x = 1, or x = -1

f(x) = g(x) = 2 + 1 = 3, or 2 - 1 = 1

Therefore, the solution for f(x) = g(x) are;

f(x) = g(x) = 3 or 1 where x = 1 and x = -1.
