At what value of x does the second
function's output exceed (get bigger
than) the first function's output?
Explain your solution steps.
f(x)= x+7 and f(x)= x²)



Answer :

The second function's output exceeds (get bigger than) the first function's output for x∈(-∞,[tex]\frac{1-\sqrt{29} }{2}[/tex])∪([tex]\frac{1+\sqrt{29} }{2}[/tex],∞)

Given the functions f(x)=x+7 and f(x)=[tex]x^{2}[/tex]

To know when to exceed, need to equate both functions.

⇒[tex]x^{2} =x+7[/tex]

⇒[tex]x^{2} -x-7=0[/tex]

x=[tex]\frac{-b+\sqrt{D} }{2a}[/tex] and [tex]\frac{-b-\sqrt{D} }{2a}[/tex]

⇒x=[tex]\frac{1-\sqrt{29} }{2}[/tex],[tex]\frac{1+\sqrt{29} }{2}[/tex]

f(x)=[tex]x^{2}[/tex] decreases from -∞ to 0 and increases from 0 to ∞ it cuts the graph of x+7 two times and for  x∈(-∞,[tex]\frac{1-\sqrt{29} }{2}[/tex])∪([tex]\frac{1+\sqrt{29} }{2}[/tex],∞) f(x)=[tex]x^{2}[/tex]  is greater than f(x)=x+7

Therefore,The second function's output exceeds (get bigger than) the first function's output for x∈(-∞,[tex]\frac{1-\sqrt{29} }{2}[/tex])∪([tex]\frac{1+\sqrt{29} }{2}[/tex],∞)
