Understanding Functions and Operations

The video tutorial explains how to differentiate between two functions, f(x) and g(x), represented by blue and red lines, respectively. It guides viewers through solving a problem involving these functions, emphasizing the importance of identifying x-values and applying the correct function. The tutorial concludes with a demonstration of using the PEMDAS rule to simplify the expression, resulting in a final answer of negative 12.

What are the colors associated with the functions f(x) and g(x) in the problem?
