b) f(x)0

a)(-,-2) or (2,)

b) [-2,2]

See the step by step solution

Step by Step Solution

Part (a) Step 1. Given Information

It is given that, f(x)>0 and the graph is,

Part (a) Step 2. Observe the graph

  • From the graph, it is observed that the value of y or f(x) is positive for role="math" localid="1646049546322" x<-2 or x>2.
  • In set builder form, for f(x)>0, x|x<-2 or x>2. Also, in interval notation it is denoted as (-,-2)or(2,).

Part (b) Step 1. Given Information

It is given that, f(x)0 and the graph is,

Part (b) Step 2. Observe the graph 

  • From the graph, it is observed that the value of y=f(x) is negative or equal to 0 for -2x2.
  • In set builder form, for f(x)0, {x|-2x2}. Also, in interval notation it is denoted as [-2,2].
