Work Step by Step

$f(x)=-x^2+1,$ $g(x)=4x+1,$ a.$f(x)=-x^2+1=0,$ $-x^2=-1,$ $x^2=1,$ $x=\pm1 $ b.$g(x)=4x+1=0,$ $4x=-1,$ $x=-\frac{1}{4}$ c. $-x^2+1=4x+1,$ $-x^2-4x=0,$ $-x(x+4)=0,$ $x=0$ or $x+4=0, x=-4$ d.$f(x)=-x^2+1>0,$ $-x^2>-1,$ $x^2<1,$ $x<\pm 1$ e. $g(x)\leq 0,$ $4x+1\leq 0,$ $4x\leq -1,$ $x\leq -\frac{1}{4},$ f.$-x^2+1>4x+1,$ $-x^2-4x>0,$ $-x(x-4)>0,$ $x<0$ or $x>-4$ g. $f(x)\geq1,$ $-x^2+1\geq 1,$ $-x^2\geq 0,$ $x=0$
