Question

I’ve been stumped on this question for a while (picture included)

Answer 1

Answer:

Since the question is indicating to use a graphing calculator, we can assume that we would be required to graph both of the equations.

Red = $\sqrt{x+2}$

Blue = $3x^2-4x-1$

By graphing those equations, we can determine the solution(s)

The points where the graphs intersect would be your coordinates to derive your solution

Red = (1.864, 1.966)

Blue = (-0.427, 1.254)

The solutions would be the x-value of the ordered pair, in this case,

x = 1.864 AND x = -0.427
