Answer

$a.\quad x=-0.82,\ x=1.66$ and $x=5.16$ $b.\quad x\in[-0.82,1.66]\cup[5.16,\infty)$

Work Step by Step

$a.$ Graph $f(x)=5x^{2}-x^{3}$ (red on the image) and $g(x)=-x^{2}+3x+4$ (blue). The solution (if it exists) is the x-coordinate of the intersection. Solution: $x=-0.82,\ x=1.66$ and $x=5.16$ $b.$ Using the graphs of part (a), we see that the red graph is below or intersecting the blue graph on intervals $[-0.82,1.66]\cup[5.16,\infty)$
