Start by laying out the 12.
The neighbors of 12 must be 11 and 10.
The neighbor of 11 must be 9, and the neighbor of 10 must be 8, and so on and so forth, until you get a unique arrangement.
f(x) has the smallest minimum. The minimum value of f(x) is -3
The largest sin(x) can get is 1.
This applies to sin(2x-pi) as well. So f(x) is as small as -5*(1)+2 = -5+2 = -3.
You can see this each time the red curve bottoms out at y = -3.
The smallest that g(x) can get is y = -2 as shown at the vertex (3,-2)
The smallest that h(x) can get is y = 3 as shown by the point (1,3)
See the attachment for a visual comparison of the three functions.
1 and 2 I hope this help you :)
