UCSS Math III 2B.2.3 Example 4

Solve the system of equations [math]\begin{cases}f(x)=0.5x\\g(x)=1+\frac{2}{x-2}\end{cases}[/math] by graphing. [i]Note[/i]: If values for the original problem show up as "undefined" in the left applet display, refresh the applet window by clicking the blue curved arrows in the upper corner of that display.

[list=1] [*]Graph both equations on the same set of axes. [*]Find the coordinates of any apparent intersections. [*]Verify that the identified coordinate pairs are solutions to the original system of equations.
