where x∈R in each case.
- Find the solution set, S, of the inequality f(x)≥g(x).
By considering the graph of y=(2x−5)(x−1), we see that the solution is 1≤x≤52.

- Sketch the graph of y=f(x)−g(x) for x∈S, and state the greatest and least values of f(x)−g(x) for x∈S.
Using our working from above, f(x)−g(x)=−(2x−5)(x−1), so the graph of y=f(x)−g(x) looks like this:

Since S is the set of x such that f(x)−g(x)≥0, the minimum value of f(x)−g(x) on S must be zero, when x=1 or 52.
To find the maximum, we can complete the square: −2x2+7x−5=−2(x−74)2+498−5=−2(x−74)2+98.Since 2(x−74)2≥0, we have −2x2+7x−5≤98, so the maximum value of f(x)−g(x) on S is 98, and this is attained at x=74. So we can sketch f(x)−g(x) on S.
Alternatively we can say that y=f(x)−g(x) has its maximum when x=1+522, or 74.
Now y=98 when x=74.
