Sketch the graphs of y = f(x), y = g(x) and find the point(s) where f and g intersect.
f and g can be any linear, quadratic or cubic equation in terms of x, with exponential functions, logarithmic functions and modulus functions etc. May also be given a specific domain given. Sketch first, starting with pre-transformations if necessary (e.g. if (x-a)^2 can do x^2 before shifting). Then to find the intersection point(s) equate f and g and rearrange for x.
