Janet is comparing the functions h(x) and g(x), the graph shows that the function g(x) is defined as -x^2-2x+6, Which statement is correct?
A) h(x) has a larger maximum value than g(x), and h(x) has a larger value
at x=3.
B) h(x) has a larger maximum value than g(x), and h(x) has a smaller value
at x=3.
C) h(x) has a smaller maximum value than g(x), and h(x) has a smaller value
at x=3.
D) h(x) has a smaller maximum value than g(x), and h(x) has a larger value
at x=3.
1) How many functions is the question referring to?
2) Do you know the functions? Do you have a way to visually compare the functions?
3) What is the question asking?
4) In the answer choices what are they talking about?
5) Identify the maximum of h(x) and g(x).
6) Identify the value of x=3 of h(x) and g(x).
7) which answer choice would be best based on your findings?
