Question

May I please get help with this question dont understand it

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

(f + g)(-1) = f(-1) + g(-1)

f(-1) = -1 -2 = -3

g(-1) = (-1)² + (-1) -6 = -6

(f+g)(-1) = -9

Answer 2

Answer:

(f + g)(- 1) = - 9

Step-by-step explanation:

note (f + g)(x) = f(x) + g(x)

f(x) + g(x)

= x - 2 + x² + x - 6 ← collect like terms

= x² + 2x - 8

To evaluate (f + g)(- 1) substitute x = - 1 into (f + g)(x), that is

(f + g)(- 1)

= (- 1)² + 2(- 1) - 8 = 1 - 2 - 8 = - 9
