Question

The function g(x) is a continuous quadratic function defined for all real numbers, with some of its values given by the table below.The quadratic function ƒ(x) is represented by the parabola below. x g(x) -3 0 -2 5 0 9 2 5 3 0 Select all the statements that are true. The function ƒ(x) has a maximum value at x = 4.5. The function g(x) has a minimum value of 0. The maximum value of g(x) is twice the maximum value of ƒ(x). Neither function has a minimum value.

Answer 1

Though I almost broke my brain while solving what "-3 0 -2 5 0 9 2 5 3 0" means, I can tell you which statements is absolutely incorrect: it is "The function g(x) has a minimum value of 0" (it is incorrect because the maximum value is 9 as table provides).
To solve other problems, look at f(x): if it has the top, where y is the biggest, then it is the maximum value (so if y = 4.5 is the biggest y, first statement is correct); if it has the bottom, where y is the smallest, then it is minimum value (factually, statement 3 will be correct if statement 1 is correct because 9/4.5 = 2). Finally, if f(x) has the top, then statement 4 is correct because f(x) and g(x) would be both constantly decreasing functions.
Hope this helps.
