- Consider the graphs of y = f(x) and y = g(x) in the given diagram y= f(x). y = g(x) Evaluate (f+g)(2) -5 Determine all for which g(x) < f(x) Determine all for which f(x) +3 = g(x)arrow_forwardI) For what value(s) of x does g(x) = -4? Separate multiple answers with commas as needed. J) Give the interval(s) of such that g(x) > 0. Use the union symbol between multiple intervals. K) Give the interval(s) of such that g(x) <0. Use the union symbol between multiple intervals.arrow_forwardneed help on Barrow_forward

The concentration of a drug in a patient's bloodstream h hours after it was injected is given by 0.17 h Ah= h²+2' Find and interpret lim A(h). Remember, the answers to word problems should always be given in a complete h→00 sentence, with proper units, in the context of the problem.arrow_forward#2arrow_forward
