Answer:
Explanation:
This question asks you to compare the coordinates of the vertex of each function.
__
The vertex of the function is its minimum, the point where the graph stops decreasing and starts increasing. It is the lowest point on the graph.
f(x)
The vertex is (-4, -1). The minimum is -1, located at x = -4.
g(x)
The vertex is (1, -25). The minimum is -25, located at x = 1. We know this is the minimum because there are no g(x) values that are lower (more negative).
comparison
The minimum of f(x), -1, is greater than the minimum of g(x), -25. TRUE
The x-value of f(x) at its minimum, -4, is less than the x-value of g(x) at its minimum, 1. TRUE
