f(x)=10−x2, g(x)=x+4, {−3, 1}
f(x)=10−x2, g(x)=x+4, {−3, 1}

f(x)=10+x2, g(x)=x−4, {−3, 1}
f(x)=10+x2, g(x)=x−4, {−3, 1}

g(x)=x+4, f(x)=10−x2, {1, 6}
g(x)=x+4, f(x)=10−x2, {1, 6}

g(x)=x+4, f(x)=10+x2, {−3, 2}

To solve the equation \(10 - x^2 = x + 4\), we can create two functions based on the left and right sides of the equation.

  1. Function 1 (f): \(f(x) = 10 - x^2\)
  2. Function 2 (g): \(g(x) = x + 4\)

Now, we need to find the intersection points of these two functions, which will give us the solutions to the original equation. This means we want to find \(x\) values where \(f(x) = g(x)\):

\[ 10 - x^2 = x + 4 \]

Rearranging this equation gives:

\[ -x^2 - x + 6 = 0 \]

Multiplying through by -1, we have:

\[ x^2 + x - 6 = 0 \]

Now, we can factor this quadratic:

\[ (x - 2)(x + 3) = 0 \]

Setting each factor to zero gives us the solutions:

\[ x - 2 = 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad x = 2 \] \[ x + 3 = 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad x = -3 \]

So, the solution set is \({-3, 2}\).

Therefore, the correct response is: f(x)=10−x², g(x)=x+4, {−3, 2}.
