Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The graphical approximation method involves plotting the two graphs on the same coordinate plane and looking at their intersection points. Using this method, we can estimate that there are two points of intersection, one in the first quadrant and one in the fourth quadrant. The estimated coordinates of these points are approximately (0.87, 0.42) and (−0.87, 0.42), and (1.23, 3.41) and (−1.23, 3.41), respectively. Of these options, only choice C includes both of these points, making it the best choice.
