On the same set of axes are drawn the graph of and the graph of the equation obtained by replacing by in the given equation. If and these two graphs intersect:
(A)
(B)
(C)
(D)
(E)
Solution
Replacing with we have the graph of We can plug in simple values of and for convenient drawing. For example, we can graph and We see that the parabolas intersect at which is on the y-axis. The answer is
Final answer
E
