To solve the equation \(10 - x^2 = x + 4\) by graphing, we can rearrange it to express two functions:
-
Set one side of the equation as \(f(x)\): \[ f(x) = 10 - x^2 \]
-
Set the other side of the equation as \(g(x)\): \[ g(x) = x + 4 \]
Now, we want to find the intersection points of the two functions \(f(x)\) and \(g(x)\). This can be done by finding where \(f(x) = g(x)\).
To find the solution set, we can solve for the points where these two functions intersect:
Setting the functions equal to each other:
\[ 10 - x^2 = x + 4 \]
Rearranging the equation:
\[ 10 - 4 = x + x^2 \] \[ 6 = x + x^2 \] \[ x^2 + x - 6 = 0 \]
Factoring the quadratic:
\[ (x - 2)(x + 3) = 0 \]
Finding the roots:
- \(x - 2 = 0 \Rightarrow x = 2\)
- \(x + 3 = 0 \Rightarrow x = -3\)
Conclusion:
The intersection points (solutions) of the original equation \(10 - x^2 = x + 4\) are:
- \(x = 2\)
- \(x = -3\)
Thus, the solution set is \({-3, 2}\).
Answer:
The correct response is: g(x) = x + 4, f(x) = 10 - x^2, {−3, 2}
