Answer:
(f - g)(x) = -x - 6
(f + g)(x) = 3x - 4
(f*g)(4) = -9
Step-by-step explanation:
These are your equations:
f(x) = x - 5
g(x) = 2x + 1
To find (f - g)(x), subtract g(x) from f(x).
(f - g)(x) = x - 5 - (2x + 1)
(f - g)(x) = x - 5 - 2x - 1
(f - g)(x) = -x - 5 - 1
(f - g)(x) = -x - 6
To find (f + g)(x), add f(x) with g(x).
(f + g)(x) = x - 5 + 2x + 1
(f + g)(x) = 3x - 5 + 1
(f + g)(x) = 3x - 4
To find (f*g)(4), you need to first find (f*g)(4). You can do this by multiplying f(x) wih g(x).
(f*g)(x) = (x - 5)(2x + 1)
(f*g)(x) = 2x² - 9x - 5
Now that you have (f*g)(x), solve with x as 4.
(f*g)(4) = 2(4)² - 9(4) - 5
(f*g)(4) = 2(16) - 9(4) - 5
(f*g)(4) = 32 - 36 - 5
(f*g)(4) = -9
