Answer:

(- 4, 27 )

Explanation:

Equate the right sides of both equations, that is

x² - 2x + 3 = - 2x + 19 ← subtract - 2x + 19 from both sides

x² - 16 = 0 ← in standard form

(x - 4)(x + 4) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x - 4 = 0 ⇒ x = 4

x + 4 = 0 ⇒ x = - 4

Substitute these values into f(x) = - 2x + 19

f(4) = - 2(4) + 19 = - 8 + 19 = 11 ⇒ (4, 11 )

f(- 4) = - 2(- 4) + 19 = 8 + 19 = 27 ⇒ (- 4, 27 )
