They cross where the two functions' values are equal.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "They meet or cross if \"f%28x%29=g%28x%29\";
\n" ); document.write( "\"12x-1=2x\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"10x-1=0\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"10x=1\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x=1%2F10\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The vertical coordinates will also be equal where g and f intersect, so use either function to evaluate this vertical axis component.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"g%28x%29=2x\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"g%281%2F10%29=2%281%2F10%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"g%281%2F10%29=1%2F5\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The intersection point for f and g is ( 0.10, 0.20 ).
\n" ); document.write( "
