Answer 1

To compare the functions \( f(x) \) and \( g(x) \) based on the values provided in the table:

\[
\begin{array}{|c|c|c|}
\hline
x & f(x) & g(x) \\
\hline
-2 & -1 & 3 \\
-1 & 34 & 34 \\
0 & 1 & 0 \\
1 & 114 & 34 \\
2 & 3 & 3 \\
\hline
\end{array}
\]

Now we analyze whether \( g(x) \) is greater than \( f(x) \) for each value of \( x \):

- For \( x = -2 \): \( f(-2) = -1 \) and \( g(-2) = 3 \) → \( g > f \)
- For \( x = -1 \): \( f(-1) = 34 \) and \( g(-1) = 34 \) → \( g = f \)
- For \( x = 0 \): \( f(0) = 1 \) and \( g(0) = 0 \) → \( g < f \)
- For \( x = 1 \): \( f(1) = 114 \) and \( g(1) = 34 \) → \( g < f \)
- For \( x = 2 \): \( f(2) = 3 \) and \( g(2) = 3 \) → \( g = f \)

Based on the analysis, \( g(x) \) is greater than \( f(x) \) only when \( x < -1 \).

So, the final answer is:
\( g(x) \) is greater than \( f(x) \) when \( x < -1 \).
