3 questions pls help i've been trying all morning and can't figure out what to say.

1) From the graph, explain the relationship between q(x) and w(x)

2) Explain why the graph q(x) never crosses the x axis

3) Explain why the graph w(x) never crosses the x axis

short answers please thanks for your help guys!!

1)Assuming w(x) is the natural log function, they are inverses of each other.

2)Because any real number you plug into e^x will produce a value greater than 0. To cross the x axis the function will need to have a value of 0 at some point, which we just determined is impossible.

3)w(x) crosses the x axis at x=1, so that question is confusing. In fact you can see it crossing the x axis in your graph!
