Answer:

b. g(x)

Explanation:

f(x) = (x-13)^4 -2

(x-13)^4 is always positive or zero so the smallest f(x) can be is -2

g(x) = 3x^3 +2

x^3 can get as negative as it wants as x goes to negative infinity this goes to negative infinity

g(x) goes to negative infinity


f(x) min is -2

g(x) min is - infinity

g(x) has the smallest minimum value
