Given continuous functions ff and gg on [0,4][0,4] such that f(x)>g(x)f(x)>g(x) for 0≤x<20\le x<2, f(2)=g(2)f(2)=g(2), and g(x)>f(x)g(x)>f(x) for 2<x≤42<x\le 4. Suppose the area between the graphs of ff and gg from x=0x=0 to x=2x=2 equals the area between the graphs from x=2x=2 to x=4x=4. Which statement correctly compares the average values of ff and gg on [0,4][0,4]? (a) The average value of gg on [0,4][0,4] is greater than that of ff. (b) There is not enough information to determine which average is greater. (c) The average values of ff and gg on [0,4][0,4] are equal. (d) The average value of ff on [0,4][0,4] is greater than that of gg.
