Answer:

The true statements are -: A f(3)>0 , C g(-1)=0.8 and D g(-1)< f(-1)

Explanation:

Given f(x)= 5- 0.2x and g(x)= 0.2(x+5)

(A) f(3) > 0

Putting this value in the given equation -

f(3) =5 -0.2(3)

f(3)=5 - 0.6

f(3) =4.4

Therefore , f(3) > 0 . This is a true statement .

(B) f(3) > 5

We got the value of f(3) from the above equation,

Therefore , f(3) = 4.4 , hence f(3) > 5 option is False.

(C) g(-1) = 0.8

Taking the second given equation ,

g(-1) = 0.2 ( -1+ 5)

g(-1) = 0.2 (-4)

Therefore, g(-1) = -0.8 . Hence , this statement is true.

(D) g(-1) < f(-1)

g(-1) = -0.8

f(-1) =5 - 0.2(-1)

f(-1) = 5 +0.2

f(-1) = 5.2

Therefore , g(-1) < f(-1) , Hence this option is true.

(E) f(0) =g(0)

f(0) = 5 + 0.2(0)

f(0) = 5

g(0) = 0.2(0+5)

g(0) = 0.2 +5

g(0) = 1

Therefore , f(0)
\\eq g(0) , Hence , the option is false .

Hence , true statements about the functions are - A , C , D .
