b. 6
c. 1
d. 3

Answer 1

c. 1

Answer 2

why?

Answer 3

To find the smaller solution to g(x) = f(x), we need to compare the values of g(x) and f(x) at points (1,3) and (6,13).

At x = 1, g(1) = 3 and f(1) = 1. So, g(1) is smaller than f(1).

At x = 6, g(6) = 13 and f(6) = 13. So, g(6) is equal to f(6).

Therefore, the smaller solution to g(x) = f(x) is x = 1.
