Answer: g(x) has the smallest possible y-value of -3
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
f(x) = 3ˣ - 3 <em>This is an exponential graph shifted down three units. So, it has an asymptote at y = -3, which means it approaches -3 but does not touch it.</em>
Range: y > 3 (-3, ∞)
g(x) = 7x² - 3
⇒ g(x) = 7(x - 0)² - 3 <em>This is a parabola with vertex at (0, -3) </em>
Range: y ≥ 3 [-3, ∞)

Answer: Area of the shaded region is 6.867 square cm
Step-by-step explanation:
The shaded area corresponds to the difference of the area of the rectangle and the area of the semicircle.
Area of the rectangle = 4 times 8 = 32 cm^2
Area of the semicircle = 0.5 * pi * r^2 (where r is the radius, i.e., half of the diameters, i.e., 4 cm). So Area = 0.5*pi*4^2 = 25.133 cm^2
The difference: 32 - 25.133 = 6.867 cm^2 (area of the shaded region)
