Question 434196: I am having trouble remembering the basics of functions! here is my question:
if p(x) = (x+3)squared
and q(x) = 3-x
solve such that p(x) = q(x)
I just set the two functions equal to each other and get xsquared + 7x = -6, but what does that mean?
Answer by Alan3354(69443) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
if p(x) = (x+3)squared
and q(x) = 3-x
solve such that p(x) = q(x)
--------------

(x+1)*(x+6) = 0
x = -6, -1
-----------
Those are the 2 values of x that make p(x) = q(x)
