Exercises: Graph Intersections as Solutions

For graphical problems, identify the x-coordinate of each intersection as the solution. Always verify by substituting back into both sides of the original equation. Use graphing technology (Desmos or graphing calculator) where indicated.

Recall / Warm-Up

To solve $f(x) = g(x)$ graphically, what should you graph?

Only $y = f(x)$ and find its x-intercepts.

Both $y = f(x)$ and $y = g(x)$ on the same coordinate plane, then find intersections.

The single equation $y = f(x) \cdot g(x)$ and find its x-intercepts.

Only $y = g(x)$ and find its y-intercepts.
