Answer 1

To solve the equation \( x^2 + 4x - 1 = 2x + 2 \), we can rewrite it to set it to zero:

\[ x^2 + 4x - 1 - 2x - 2 = 0 \]

This simplifies to:

\[ x^2 + 2x - 3 = 0 \]

Now, we can create two functions based on the original equation:

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

To find the intersection points, we need to find the values of \( x \) where \( f(x) = g(x) \).

From the simplified equation, we can factor or use the quadratic formula:

\[ x^2 + 2x - 3 = 0 \]

Factoring gives:

\[ (x + 3)(x - 1) = 0 \]

Thus, the solutions are:

\[ x + 3 = 0 \implies x = -3 \] \[ x - 1 = 0 \implies x = 1 \]

Therefore, the solution set is \( {-3, 1} \).

So the correct response is:

• \( f(x) = x^2 + 4x - 1 \), \( g(x) = 2x + 2 \), and the solution set is \( {-3, 1} \).
