What are the solutions to the equation f(x) = g(x)?

Answer 1

F(x) = g(x) is the x- coordinate of the point where the graphs of the functions intersect. Create a table of values to find the point of intersection. The two functions intersect at the point (3,44). Therefore, the solution to the equation is x=3.
