The curves y=x2y=x^{2} and y=6x−x2y=6x-x^{2} intersect at x=0x=0 and x=3x=3. On the open interval (0,3)(0,3), which statement is true? a) y=x2y=x^{2} stays above y=6x−x2y=6x-x^{2} throughout (0,3)(0,3). b) They meet again at x=32x=\dfrac{3}{2} inside (0,3)(0,3), so each curve is above the other on part of the interval. c) y=6x−x2y=6x-x^{2} stays above y=x2y=x^{2} throughout (0,3)(0,3). d) The two curves coincide at every point of (0,3)(0,3).
