Set the equations each to each other and solve for x
f(x) = g(x)
x^2 - 3x = 2x+14
x^2-3x-2x-14 = 0
x^2-5x-14 = 0 .... see note below
(x-7)(x+2) = 0
x-7 = 0 or x+2 = 0
x = 7 or x = -2
The two solutions are x = 7 or x = -2

note: we technically could stop at this line and divert to another path. Instead of finding the actual solutions, we can use the discriminant formula
d = b^2 - 4ac
to find the value of d. It turns out that
d = (-5)^2 - 4(1)(-14)
d = 81
which is a positive number. So that shows we have two solutions.

What is the value of i4?

natima [27]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to know the value of i^4.

<h3>Powers of i</h3>

The fourth power of i, √(-1), can be found the same way the value of any fourth power can be found: carry out the multiplication.

i^4 = i·i·i·i = -1·i·i = -i·i = -(-1) = 1

The fourth power of i is 1.

<em>Additional comment</em>

As you can see from the evaluation process, ...

i¹ = i

i² = -1 . . . . . definition of i

i³ = -i

i⁴ = 1

The sequence repeats for higher powers.

Which graph correctly matches the equation y = 2-x?

nalin [4]

Answer: The answer is attached in the figure.

Step-by-step explanation: Given are four different graphs and we are to check which one matches with the equation y = 2 - x.

We have the following points on this equation.

(0,2), (1,1), (2,0), etc.

When we try to match these points with the given graphs, the we see that these points does not match with the first, third and fourth graph. The only graph containing these points is second one.

Thus, the second option is correct. Also see the attached figure for the location of the three mentioned points.
