Re: Point Of intersection between two plotted functions

2008-06-13 Thread Mark Westwood
Hi Let your 2 functions be f(x) and g(x). Then you have to solve the equation f(x) = g(x). For some functions it will be easier to determine intervals of the real line where f(x)-g(x) > 0 and where f(x)-g(x) < 0 and to find an interval in which the 2 intersect, which would probably be good enoug
