If f(x) = x² − 4 and g(x) = |x| − 2, for which values of x is (f − g) = 0?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: x = −2, 2

Answer: D, x=−2 and x=2. Since (f−g)=0, write f(x)−g(x)=0: (x^2−4)−(|x|−2)=0, so x^2−|x|−2=0. Let t=|x|. Because an absolute value is never negative, t≥0, and x^2=|x|^2=t^2. The equation becomes t^2−t−2=0=(t−2)(t+1). Hence t=2 or t=−1, but t=−1 is impossible. Thus |x|=2, which gives x=2 or x=−2. Substitution confirms both: 4−2−2=0. A includes −1, which is not a solution. B omits −2 and C omits 2 while including 1. D contains exactly both valid signs. Memory cue: |x|=a for a positive number always gives x=±a.
