The figure shows a graph of the function fx in the coordinate plane. A second function, g, is defined by gx=3-x+2.

Select the correct phrase in each drop-down menu to complete the sentence.

f2 (answer choice) g2 and f2- (answer choice) g2-

Answer choices:

(is less than)

(is greater than)

(is equal to)

B. is greater than

Step-by-step explanation:

As the graph of function f(x) is a parabola, so that the equation of function f(x) is: f(x) =

As it can be seen in thee figure, the graph of function f(x) cross points (0;8) ;(-2; 0) and (4;0)

=> f(0) = 8; f(-2) = 0; f(4) = 0

We have:

We have:

+) 4a -2b + 8 = 0 => 2 x (4a -2b + 8) = 8a - 4b + 16 = 0 (1)

+) 16a + 4b + 8 = 0 (2)

We take (2) minus (1)

=> (16a + 4b + 8) - (8a - 4b + 16) = 0

=> 8a - 8 = 0 => a = 1

Replace a = 1 into (1)

=> 8 x 1 - 4b + 16 = 0 => b = 6

So that:  

f (2) = 2^2 + 6 x 2 + 8 = 24

g (2) = 3 -2 + 2 = 3

=> f(2) is greater than g(2)
