Question

Which statements are true for the functions g(x) = x2 and h(x) = –x2 ? Check all that apply.

For any value of x, g(x) will always be greater than h(x).
For any value of x, h(x) will always be greater than g(x).
g(x) > h(x) for x = -1.
g(x) < h(x) for x = 3.
For positive values of x, g(x) > h(x).
For negative values of x, g(x) > h(x).

Answer 1

if x=0 then they have same value

1st and 2nd options are out

for x=-1

g(-1)=1

h(-1)=-1

3rd is true

4th

false

for all values except zero, g(x)>h(x)

correct ones are

ANSWER: g(x) > h(x) for x = -1.

For positive values of x, g(x) > h(x).

For negative values of x, g(x) > h(x).
