Answer:
The graphs of the two function will not intersect.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given a quadratic function f(x).
Also g(x) is given by a set of values as:
x g(x)
1 -1
2 0
3 1
As g(x) is a linear function hence we find out the equation of g(x) by the slope intercept form of a line: y=mx+c
let g(x)=y
when x=1 , g(x)=-1
-1=m+c----(1)
when x=2 , g(x)=0
0=2m+c------(2)
Hence, on solving (1) and (2) by method of elimination we get:
m=1 and c=-2
Hence, the equation of g(x) is:
g(x)=x-2
So clearly from the graph we could see that the graph of the two functions will never intersect.
The answer is either B, and you forgot to put in the ^2 in the answer choice, or C, and you forgot to put an x where there is a _ in the question.
Check the actual question (the one you recieved, not the one posted here) and see where the mistakes are. If f(x) = 8x - 4x - x^3, then your answer is C. However, if B is actually -x^3 + x^2 + 3x - 1, then the answer is B.
