Problem

Below is a portion of the graph of a function, :

problem


If the graph of is drawn on the same set of axes as the graph above, then the two graphs intersect at one point. What is the sum of the coordinates of that point?
Solution
If the graphs intersect at , then we have Thus, and are both on the original graph of . Looking for two points on the original graph which are separated by units horizontally, we find and . Thus and the graphs of and intersect at the sum of whose coordinates is .
Final answer
4
