You Just want to get Fahrenheit alone on one side of the equal sign. Your teacher forgot to use parenthesis. The correct equation for Celsius to Fahrenheit is:
Which will give you a completely different answer....

We will solve it using what is given:
C = (5/9)F - 32
C + 32 = (5/9)F
9(C + 32) = 5F
(9/5)(C + 32) = F
** If they mark you wrong, and try to say the answer is F = (9/5)C + 32 then they shouldn't be teaching math, and you should point out the fact there are no parenthesis around the F - 32 in the given formula.
<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.
