To answer the question regarding the smaller solution to \( g(x) = f(x) \), you would typically look for the x-coordinate(s) where the parabolas (or curves) intersect with the dotted straight line on the provided graph.
Since I don't have actual access to the image, I can't directly analyze or visualize it. However, if you look at the points where the two graphs intersect, the smaller value of those x-coordinates will be the answer.
If you have the numerical coordinates or could describe the intersections, I would be able to assist you further. From the options given (13, 6, 1, 3), determine which of these corresponds to the smaller x-coordinate intersection point of the two graphs.
