If f(x)=3x+1, g(x)=x^2-6 , Find (f-g)(x) A. 3x^2-17 B. 7+3x-x^2 C. x^2- 3x-7 D. -x2+3x-5

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

(f-g)(x) means f(x) - g(x) right? so what do you think will be the answer? ;)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 3x+1-x^2-6= D?

OpenStudy (agent47):

-x^2+3x-5

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

no...try again

OpenStudy (agent47):

It is d -_-

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

lol agent..losing your touch? :))

OpenStudy (agent47):

ohh +

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

3x + 1 - (x^2 - 6) 3x + 1 - x^2 + 6

OpenStudy (agent47):

lol yup i am

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohhh i see the negative is ditributed right?

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):
