Question

2. Let f(x) = -3x - 6 and g(x) = 5x + 2. Find (f +g)(x).a. 2x - 4b. 8x - 8C. -8x - 4d. 2x - 8Help!!!

Answer 1

Given the following functions:

f(x) = -3x - 6

g(x) = 5x + 2

(f + g)(x) means we will be adding the two functions.

$(f\text{ + g)(x) = f(x) + g(x)}$

Let's now determine the sum of two functions.

$(f\text{ + g)(x) = f(x) + g(x) = (-3x - 6) + (5x + 2)}$$\text{ = -3x - 6 + 5x + 2}$$=\text{ 5x - 3x + 2 - 6}$$(f+g)(x)=\text{ 2x - 4}$

Therefore, the sum of the two functions is 2x - 4. The answer is letter A.
