Questions: Let f(x) be the function represented by the dashed line and g(x) be the function represented by the solid line. Solve the equation f(x) ≥ g(x).
Transcript text: Let $f(x)$ be the function represented by the dashed line and $g(x)$ be the function represented by the solid line. Solve the equation $f(x) \geq g(x)$.
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Identify the Functions
The dashed line represents \( f(x) \).
The solid line represents \( g(x) \).
Step 2: Analyze the Graph
Observe where \( f(x) \) (dashed line) is greater than or equal to \( g(x) \) (solid line).
Step 3: Determine the Intersection Points
Find the points where the dashed line intersects the solid line. These points are where \( f(x) = g(x) \).
Step 4: Solve the Inequality
Identify the intervals on the x-axis where \( f(x) \) is above or equal to \( g(x) \).
Final Answer
The solution to \( f(x) \geq g(x) \) is the interval \( x \leq 1 \) and \( x \geq 3 \).
