Math Problem Statement

The graph of the function g(x) = -2x - 6 intersects the graph of the function f(x). Let f(x) = g(x) and solve the resulting equation to find the coordinates of the points where the graphs of f(x) and g(x) intersect.

Solution

The problem asks to find the points where the graph of the function g(x)=2x6g(x) = -2x - 6 intersects the graph of the function f(x)f(x). To solve this, you are instructed to set f(x)=g(x)f(x) = g(x), then solve the equation to determine the coordinates of the intersection points.

Here’s how you can approach it:

  1. Set up the equation: f(x)=g(x)=2x6f(x) = g(x) = -2x - 6 You need to know the explicit form of f(x)f(x), which isn't provided in the text. Once you have f(x)f(x), you'll equate it to 2x6-2x - 6 and solve for xx.

  2. Solve for xx: After equating f(x)f(x) to g(x)g(x), rearrange the equation to isolate xx and solve.

  3. Find the y-coordinate: Once xx is found, substitute xx back into either f(x)f(x) or g(x)g(x) to find the corresponding yy-coordinates.

Could you provide the equation of f(x)f(x) to proceed?
