Question

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.

and f(x)
is shown. What is the smaller solution to g(x)=f(x)
?

The dotted line intersects the parabola at x = 1 and x = 6, so the smaller solution is 1.
