What is the value of x in the equation

a

step-by-step explanation:

or

step-by-step explanation:

we need to solve for 'x' the following equation:  

we have that:

⇒

⇒ ⇒

factorizing, we get that:

  ⇒

then, the solutions are: or

nothing extraneous has been found!

- both graphs increase on their domain.

- the graphs of both functions have the same x-intercept.

- neither graph has a y-intercept.

answer: c

substitute in the values.

for a:

f(0) = 0 + 9

f(0) = 9

a is a solution.

for b:

f(7) = 14 + 9

f(7) = 23

b is a solution.

for c:

f (3) = 6 + 9

f(3) = 15

c is not a solution. it's supposed to be 14.

for d:

f(2) = 4 + 9

f(2)= 13

d is a solution.
