The expansion of a perfect square is
In words, the square of a sum of two terms is the sum of the squares of the two terms ( and
), plus twice the product of the two terms (
)
So, when determining if you have a perfect square trinomial, you should have two perfect squares. Note that they don't have to be the first and third term, since you can rearrange terms as you prefer.
<h3>Answer: choice 4. f(x) and g(x) have a common x-intercept</h3>
===========================================================
Explanation:
For me, it helps to graph everything on the same xy coordinate system. Start with the given graph and plot the points shown in the table. You'll get what you see in the diagram below.
The blue point C in that diagram is on the red parabola. This point is the x intercept as this is where both graphs cross the x axis. Therefore, they have a common x intercept.
------------
Side notes:
- Choice 1 is not true due to choice 4 being true. We have f(x) = g(x) when x = 2, which is why f(x) > g(x) is not true for all x.
- Choice 2 is not true. Point B is not on the parabola.
- Choice 3 is not true. There is only one known intersection point between f(x) and g(x), and that is at the x intercept mentioned above. Of course there may be more intersections, but we don't have enough info to determine this.
