Answer:

(5, 18) and (-5, 38)

Explanation:

Equating the values of the function f(x) :

  • x² - 2x + 3 = -2x + 28
  • x² + 3 = 28 [Cancelling out -2x on each side]
  • x² + 3 - 3 = 28 - 3 [Subtracting 3 on each side]
  • √x² = √25 [Taking square root on each side]
  • x = ±5

Taking x = +5 :

  • f(5) = -2(5) + 28
  • f(5) = -10 + 28
  • f(5) = 18
  • Ordered pair = (5, 18)

Taking x = -5 :

  • f(-5) = -2(-5) + 28
  • f(-5) = 10 + 28
  • f(-5) = 38
  • Ordered pair = (-5, 38)

The solutions are : (5, 18) and (-5, 38)
