![### Evaluating Functions Using Graphs
#### Understanding the Graphs
- **Graph of \(y = f(x)\)**
- This graph displays a piecewise linear function.
- Coordinates of notable points:
- \((0, 4)\)
- \((1, 2)\)
- \((2, 1)\)
- \((3, 3)\)
- The graph starts at point \((0, 4)\), undergoes a descending slope to \((2, 1)\), and then ascends again at point \((3, 3)\).
- **Graph of \(y = g(x)\)**
- This graph represents another piecewise linear function.
- Coordinates of notable points:
- \((0, 4)\)
- \((1, 3)\)
- \((2, 2)\)
- \((3, 1)\)
- \((4, 0)\)
- The graph starts at point \((0, 4)\) and continuously decreases to \((4, 0)\).
#### Tasks
1. **Evaluate \( (f - g)(1) \)**
2. **Evaluate \( (fg)(1) \)**
__Solution Steps:__
- To find \((f - g)(x)\) at \(x = 1\):
- Determine \(f(1)\) from the graph of \(y = f(x)\).
- Determine \(g(1)\) from the graph of \(y = g(x)\).
- Compute \((f - g)(1) = f(1) - g(1)\).
- To find \( (fg)(x) \) at \( x = 1 \):
- Determine \( f(1) \) from the graph of \( y = f(x) \).
- Determine \( g(1) \) from the graph of \( y = g(x) \).
- Compute \((fg)(1) = f(1) \cdot g(1)\).
Below the graphs, there are fields to fill in the values of \((f - g)(1)\) and \((fg)(1)\):
(a) \( (f - g)(1) \) ___________________
(b) \( (fg)(1) \) ___________________
