A solid parabola descends through left parenthesis negative 1.3 comma 15 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 0 comma 7 right parenthesis, passes through plotted and marked point left parenthesis 1 comma 3
right parenthesis, descends to its vertex at left parenthesis 2.5 comma 0.75 right parenthesis, rises through left parenthesis 5 comma 7 right parenthesis, and passes through plotted and marked point left
parenthesis 6 comma 13 right parenthesis. A dotted line intersects the parabola at the two plotted points at left parenthesis 1 comma 3 right parenthesis and left parenthesis 6 comma 13 right parenthesis.

The graph of g (x) and f (x) is shown. What is the smaller solution to g () = f(x)?
(1 point)

O 13

O
6

Answer 1

The dotted line and parabola intersect at (1, 3) and (6, 13), so the solutions are x = 1 and x = 6. The smaller solution is 1.
