Short Answer

In Problems 25–32, use the given functions f and g.

(a) f(x)=0(b) g(x)=0(c) f(x)=g(x)(d)f(x)>0

(e) g(x)0(f) f(x)>g(x)(g) f(x)1

f(x) = -x2+3g(x)=-3x+3

The required solution sets are

(a) x=-3,3

(b) x=1

(c) x=0,3

(d) x:-3<x<3

(e) x1

(f) x:0<x<3

(g) x:-2x2

Step by Step Solution

Part (a) Step 1. Given information

  • The given functions are f(x) = -x2+3g(x)=-3x+3.
  • The equation is f(x) = -x2+3g(x)=-3x+3.

Part (a) Step 2: Plot the graph and observe

  • Plot the graph of the function.

  • From the graph, it can be observed that f(x)=0 when x=-3,3.

Part (b) Step 1. Given information

  • The given functions are f(x) = -x2+3g(x)=-3x+3
  • The equation is g(x)=0.

Part (b) Step 2. Plot the function and observe 

  • Plot the line in the graph obtained for the first function.

  • From the graph, it can be observed that g(x)=0when x=1.

Part (c) Step 1. Given information

  • The given functions are f(x) = -x2+3g(x)=-3x+3
  • The equation is f(x)=g(x).

Part (c) Step 2. Read the Graph 

  • For f(x)=g(x), the curves of both the functions must intersect.
  • From the graph, it can be observed that the functions intersect at (0,3) and (3,-6).
  • So, f(x) = g(x)at x=0,3.

Part (d) Step 1. Given information

  • The given functions are f(x) = -x2+3g(x)=-3x+3
  • The inequality is f(x)>0.

Part (d) Step 2.Find the region above the horizontal axis. 

  • The inequality holds when the curve of the function is above the horizontal axis.
  • According to the graph obtained in step 2 of part (b), the curve is above the horizontal axis when -3<x<3.
  • So, the solution set is x:-3<x<3.

Part (e) Step 1. Given information

  • The given functions are f(x) = -x2+3g(x)=-3x+3
  • The inequality is g(x)0.

Part (e) Step 2. Find the region on or below the horizontal axis. 

  • g(x)0 when the line of the function is on or below the horizontal axis.
  • From the graph, the line is on or below the axis for x1.

Part (f) Step 1. Given information

  • The given functions are f(x) = -x2+3g(x)=-3x+3
  • The inequality is f(x)>g(x).

Part (f) Step 2. Read the graph

  • The inequality holds when the curve lies above the line on the graph.
  • From the graph, it can be observed that the curve is above the line when 0<x<3.
  • So, the solution set of the inequality is x:0<x<3.

Part (g) Step 1. Given information

  • The given functions are f(x) = -x2+3g(x)=-3x+3
  • The inequality is f(x)1.

Part (g) Step 2. Read the graph

  • The inequality holds when the curve lies above the value 1 on the vertical axis.
  • From the graph, the curve is above 1 when -2x2.
  • So, the solution set of the inequality is x:-2x2.
