We are given the two functions

and

. Since the question is asking us for the value of x when f(x) is equal to g(x), all we need to do is equate the respective expressions together. This is what the result should be:

Now, just solve for x. If you want to save some time, you can use logic and then algebra. To do this, look at the square root. We cannot have an imaginary number, so we can rule out the first two options. Now, we are left with x = 2 and x = 4. When we plug in each x-value to the equation, only 4 works out with a result of 0.5 = 0.5. Therefore, the solution to f(x) = g(x) is
D) x = 4. Hope this helps and have a great day!
For this case we have the following variables:
t: time in seconds.
f (t): height as a function of time.
By the time Grace reaches the pool, the height is equal to zero.
We have the following table:
Time (t) (in seconds) Height f(t) (in meters)
1 25
2 20
3 15
4 0
We observe that the height is equal to zero after 4 seconds.
Equivalently:
Answer:
the following represents the x-intercept of f(t):
Grace reaches the swimming pool after 4 seconds
Answer:
70 minutes which is 1 hour and 10 minutes
Answer:
answer would be -10 for x
