If \(f(x)=x^2\) and \(g(x)=|x|\), for which real values of \(x\) is \((f-g)(x)=0\)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: \(x\in\{-1,0,1\}\)

The condition \((f-g)(x)=0\) gives \(x^2-|x|=0\), or \(x^2=|x|\). Let \(t=|x|\ge 0\). Then \(t^2=t\), so \(t=0\) or \(t=1\). Hence \(x=0\) or \(x=\pm1\), giving \(x\in\{-1,0,1\}\). Option B is incorrect because it omits \(x=-1\). Exam tip: for equations involving a modulus, substitute \(t=|x|\) with \(t\ge0\) before solving.
