The graph shows a system of equations, \( f(x) \) and \( g(x) \). The table shows the approximate values of each equation for some values of \( x \). Which values describe the best approximate solutions of the system of equations? Use the drop-down menus to complete the statements. \begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|} \hline\( x \) & \( f(x) \) & \( g(x) \) \\ \hline 1.10 & 0.49 & 0.23 \\ \hline 1.15 & 0.32 & 0.22 \\ \hline 1.20 & 0.14 & 0.20 \\ \hline 1.25 & 0.04 & 0.18 \\ \hline 1.30 & 0.21 & 0.17 \\ \hline 1.35 & 0.39 & 0.15 \\ \hline 1.40 & 0.56 & 0.13 \\ \hline \end{tabular}

Step 1
We need to find the approximate solutions to the system of equations \( f(x) \) and \( g(x) \). This means we need to find the values of \( x \) where \( f(x) = g(x) \). Show more…

Use the following graph of a function $f$ to determine $x$ or $y$ to the nearest integer, as indicated. Some problems may have more than one answer. $$ 0=f(x) $$
Functions and Graphs
Functions
The values of two functions, $f$ and $g$, are given in a table. One, both, or neither of them may be exponential. Decide which, if any, are exponential, and give the exponential models for those that are. HINT [See Example 1.] $$ \begin{array}{|c|c|c|c|c|c|} \hline \boldsymbol{x} & -2 & -1 & 0 & 1 & 2 \\ \hline \boldsymbol{f ( x )} & 0.5 & 1.5 & 4.5 & 13.5 & 40.5 \\ \hline \boldsymbol{g}(\boldsymbol{x}) & 8 & 4 & 2 & 1 & \frac{1}{2} \\ \hline \end{array} $$
