Solution
To find intersection points of y=f(x) and y=g(x), solve:
f(x)=g(x)
and then substitute back to get y.
(i) f(x)=2x+5,g(x)=−x+5
2x+53xx=−x+5=0=0
y=f(0)=2(0)+5=5
(0,5)
(ii) f(x)=3x−2,g(x)=10−x
3x−24xx=10−x=12=3
y=f(3)=3(3)−2=7
(3,7)
(iii) f(x)=2x−4,g(x)=3x−1
2x−4−xx=3x−1=3=−3
y=f(−3)=2(−3)−4=−10
(−3,−10)
(iv) f(x)=−3x−4,g(x)=21x+3
−3x−4−6x−8−7xx=21x+3=x+6=14=−2
y=f(−2)=−3(−2)−4=2
(−2,2)
(v) f(x)=x−1,g(x)=x2−4x+3
x−100=x2−4x+3=x2−5x+4=(x−1)(x−4)
So x=1 or x=4.
x=1x=4⇒y=f(1)=0⇒y=f(4)=3
(1,0)and(4,3)
(vi) f(x)=3x+4,g(x)=x2+2x−8
3x+400=x2+2x−8=x2−x−12=(x−4)(x+3)
So x=4 or x=−3.
x=4x=−3⇒y=f(4)=16⇒y=f(−3)=−5
(4,16)and(−3,−5)
(vii) f(x)=−2x−1,g(x)=x2−4x
−2x−100=x2−4x=x2−2x+1=(x−1)2
So x=1.
y=f(1)=−2(1)−1=−3
(1,−3)
(viii) f(x)=−x2−3x+2,g(x)=x+6
−x2−3x+200=x+6=−x2−4x−4=x2+4x+4=(x+2)2
So x=−2.
y=g(−2)=−2+6=4
