Answer:

f(1) = g(1) = 3

f(6) = g(6) = 23

Explanation:

Perhaps you want to know the solutions to ...

f(x) = g(x)

Substituting the function definitions, this is ...

4x -1 = x^2 -3x +5

0 = x^2 -7x +6 . . . subtract 4x-1

0 = (x -6)(x -1) . . . factor the equation

Solutions are x = 1 and x = 6, the values that make the factors zero.

The corresponding function values are ...

f(1) = 4(1) -1 = 3

f(6) = 4(6) -1 = 23

Solutions for y = f(x) = g(x) are (x, y) = (1, 3) and (6, 23).

F(x) = 4x – 1 g(x) = x2 - 3x + 5-example-1
