I am Emma Mink. Welcome to Open Study! Tag me if you have questions! No, to solve the problem assuming that is an exponent. We simply place in each of the values listed until we find the greatest answer.

I think, may be this:
"tha maximum value of f(x) is at point whose x=0, whereas the maximum value of g(x) is at point whose x=2"
