The points of intersection are at,
Thus, they intersect at and

Hello! I believe the first intersection point is wrong, it should be (7, 7), or at least that’s what I get. I could be wrong too. Thanks for the solutions!
I think the points above are right. You can check by substituting in the values to see if the curves intersect there. So, for
we have
So, the graphs of
and
don’t go through the point
(so definitely don’t intersect there).
The points we get above are
and
. We can check those:
and
So, it checks out, the graphs of both functions go through the points
and they also both go through
. Unless I copied the problem from the book wrong or something. (Which has been known to happen, and I don’t have my copy with me.)
Yes, you are correct, I found my mistake substituting the values as they are. Thanks for the explanation!
