Question

Given the functions f (x) = x^2 + 4 and g (x) = 3x+ 8 what is a solution for the equation ? x^2 + 4 = 3x + 8 A. 0 B. 1 C. 2 D. 4

Answer 1

D

Explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

x2+4=3x+8

Step 1: Subtract 3x+8 from both sides.

x2+4−(3x+8)=3x+8−(3x+8)

x2−3x−4=0

Step 2: Factor left side of equation.

(x+1)(x−4)=0

Step 3: Set factors equal to 0.

x+1=0 or x−4=0

x=−1 or x=4

Answer:

x=−1 or x=4
