f(x) = x^2 - 4x + 3 f(x) = 1/2x + p The system of equations above, when graphed in the xy-coordinate plane, intersects at the point (4, q). What is p?

Respuesta :

Answer:

p = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the system intersect at (4, q) then this point satisfies both equations, that is

q = 4² - 4(4) + 3

q = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] (4) + p

Equating both gives

16 - 16 + 3 = 2 + p, that is

3 = 2 + p ( subtract 2 from both sides )

p = 1
