i think its same y-intercept

f(x)  and  g(x)  have the same y-intercept. True or false?

 

The y-intercept is the point on the graph where  x  is  0 .

 

By looking at the table, we can see that when  x = 0 ,  g(x) = 2 .

That means the y-intercept on the graph of  g(x)  is  (0, 2)

 

Is the y-intercept the same on the graph of f(x)?

That is, does  f(x)  appear to pass through the point  (0, 2)  ?

f(x) does not pass through the point  (0, 2)

See where  (0, 2)  is on the graph:

 

 

Let's look at the next option....

 

f(x)  and  g(x)  have a common x-intercept. True or false?

 

An x-intercept is a point on the graph where  y  is  0 .

 

By looking at the table, we can see that when  g(x) = 0 ,  x = 2

That means an x-intercept on the graph of  g(x)  is  (2, 0)

 

Does  f(x)  also appear to pass through the point  (2, 0)  ?

If so, then it is true that f(x)  and  g(x)  have a common x-intercept.
