Used graphing calculator=Desmos

  • f(x)=4/x
  • g(x)=9/x-2

Graph attached

for f(x)=g(x)

Solution is

  • (-1.6,-2.5)

Answer:

D) (-1.6, -2.5)

Explanation:

Please see attached for the graphing of the two functions.

The solution is the point where the two curves intersect.

From inspection of the graph, the solution is (-1.6, -2.5)

Proof

Given functions:


f(x)=(4)/(x)


g(x)=(9)/(x-2)

To find the solution:


\implies f(x)=g(x)


\implies (4)/(x)=(9)/(x-2)

Cross multiply:


\implies 4(x-2)=9x

Expand:


\implies 4x-8=9x

Simplify:


\implies -5x=8


\implies x=-(8)/(5)=-1.6

Inputting the found value of x into one of the equations and solving for y:


\implies f(-1.6)=(4)/(-1.6)=-2.5

Therefore, the solution to f(x) = g(x) is (-1.6, -2.5) thus proving the graphed solution.
