Given f(x)= 1/x, x≠0 and g(x)=2/(x+2),x≠-2, what is the smallest positive value of x so that f(x)=g(x)? a. x = 2 b. x = 1 c. x = 1/2 d. x = 1/3

Seems A. 2, but when you check graphically it is less than 1/3 or at infinity point, which is no answer within the given choices.

Best answer that i found on yahoo ok   set :   x= length of 2nd piece in cm  x- 3= length of 1st piece in cm  x-4= length of 3rd piece in cm  then since you know they all came from the 20 cm ribbon you add them together and set them equal to 20x+ x-3 +x-4 = 20  3x - 7= 20  3x= 27  x= 9  the shortest piece is the third piece which is x- 4  x-4  9-4 = 5  the length of the smallest piece is 5 cm.  the other lengths are  9 cm  6 cm
