Exercise 1.1.4

The graphs of f and g are given.

(a)
State the values of f(4) and g(3).
(b)
Which is larger, f(3) or g(3)?
(c)
For what values of x is f(x) = g(x)?
(d)
On what interval(s) is f(x) g(x) ?
(e)
State the solution of the equation f(x) = 1.
(f)
On what interval(s) is g decreasing?
(g)
State the domain and the range of f.
(h)
State the domain and the range of g.

Answers

(a)
f(4) = 2;g(3) = 4.
(b)
f(3) = 1;g(3) = 2g(3) > f(3).
(c)
To find for what values of x is f(x) = g(x), we must first find the intersection point between f and g. These points are (2,1) and (2,2). Since we need to find x-coordinates, the answer is 2;2.
(d)
For all x in the interval [4, 2] [2,3], we have f(x) g(x). Note that on (3,4] function g is not defined and f(x) g(x) does not make sense.
(e)
f(x) = 1x {3,4}.
(f)
[4,0].
(g)
The domain of f is [4,4]; the range is [2,3].
(h)
The domain of g is [4,3]; the range is [0.5,4].
