To compare the functions \(f(x) = -\sqrt{x}\) and \(g(x) = -\sqrt[3]{x}\), we need to analyze their domains, ranges, and whether they are increasing or decreasing.
1. **Domains**:
- \(f(x) = -\sqrt{x}\): The domain is \(x \geq 0\) since the square root function is defined only for non-negative values.
- \(g(x) = -\sqrt[3]{x}\): The domain is all real numbers (\(-\infty < x < \infty\)) because the cube root function is defined for all real values.
**Conclusion**: The graphs do not have the same domains.
2. **Ranges**:
- For \(f(x)\): As \(x\) increases from 0 to \(\infty\), \(f(x)\) decreases from 0 to \(-\infty\). Therefore, the range of \(f(x)\) is \((-\infty, 0]\).
- For \(g(x)\): Since \(g(x) = -\sqrt[3]{x}\) takes values from \(-\infty\) to 0 as \(x\) goes from \(-\infty\) to \(\infty\), the range of \(g(x)\) is also \((-\infty, 0]\).
**Conclusion**: The graphs have the same ranges.
3. **Increasing or Decreasing**:
- \(f(x) = -\sqrt{x}\): This function is decreasing because as \(x\) increases, \(-\sqrt{x}\) decreases.
- \(g(x) = -\sqrt[3]{x}\): This function is also decreasing because as \(x\) increases, \(-\sqrt[3]{x}\) decreases.
**Conclusion**: Both functions are decreasing.
Based on the analysis, the correct response is:
- **The graphs have the same ranges.**
Additionally, both functions are decreasing, so "The graphs are both decreasing" is also true. However, since the question only provides to select one feature, the answer is: **The graphs have the same ranges.**
1. **Domains**:
