Answer:
- A. x = -2
- B. (-2, -3), (-3, -1)
- C. x = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
Part A. The solution is represented by the point at which the graphs intersect: (-2, -3). The x-value that makes p(x) = f(x) is x = -2.
___
Part B. The point found in Part A is one solution to f(x). The graph shows the line has a slope of -2, so another point will be 1 to the left and 2 up: (-3, -1). So, two solutions are ...
... (-2, -3) and (-3, -1)
___
Part C. The graphs of p(x) and g(x) intersect at the point (0, 2). This means
... p(0) = g(0) = 2
So, x = 0 is the solution to the equation p(x) = g(x).
