Answer:

g(x)

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertex of g(x) as shwon in the graph is located in the point wich coordinates are (3.5,6.25) approximatively

We need to khow the coordinates of f(x) vertex

  • Here is a way without derivating:

f(x) = -x² + 4x -5

let a be the leading factor, b the factor of x and c the constant:

  • a= -1
  • b= 4
  • c= -5

The coordinates of a vertex are: ([tex]\frac{-b}{2a}[/tex] , f([tex]\frac{-b}{2a}[/tex]) )

-b/2a = -4/ (-1*2) = 4/2 = 2

f(2)= -2²+4*2-4 = -4+4-4 = -4

obviosly f(x) has a minimum wich less than g(x)'s maximum
