Math Problem Statement
Draw the graphs of ππ(π₯π₯)=3π₯π₯+2 and ππ(π₯π₯)=2π₯π₯+3 on the same cartesian plane. Show the point of intersection if the two functions do intersect.
Solution
numpy as np import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
Define the functions
def f(x): return 3*x + 2
def g(x): return 2*x + 3
Create a range of x values
x_values = np.linspace(-10, 10, 400)
Calculate the corresponding y values for both functions
y_f = f(x_values) y_g = g(x_values)
Find the intersection by solving 3x + 2 = 2x + 3
3x - 2x = 3 - 2 -> x = 1
x_intersection = 1 y_intersection = f(x_intersection)
Plot the graphs
plt.figure(figsize=(8, 6)) plt.plot(x_values, y_f, label=r'$f(x) = 3x + 2$', color='blue') plt.plot(x_values, y_g, label=r'$g(x) = 2x + 3$', color='green')
Highlight the intersection point
plt.scatter(x_intersection, y_intersection, color='red', zorder=5) plt.text(x_intersection, y_intersection + 1, f'({x_intersection}, {y_intersection})', color='red')
Labels and title
plt.axhline(0, color='black',linewidth=1) plt.axvline(0, color='black',linewidth=1) plt.title('Graphs of $f(x) = 3x + 2$ and $g(x) = 2x + 3$') plt.xlabel('x') plt.ylabel('y') plt.legend()
Show plot
plt.grid(True) plt.show()Here is the graph of the functions and on the same Cartesian plane. The two functions intersect at the point , which is highlighted in red.
