Question

Given f(x) = 5x - 6 and g(x) = x^2 - 5x + 6, find the function (f - g)(x). Use the ^ key for the exponent. Enter your answer as the following example: -2x^2+3x+10.

Answer 1

your job is to compute
\[(f-g)(x)=f(x)-g(x)=5x-6-(x^2-5x+6)\]
remove the parentheses using the distributive property, then combine like terms
is this clear?

Answer 2

sorta

Answer 3

just make sure to remove the parentheses carefully
you should end up with
\[5x-6-(x^2-5x+6)=5x-6-x^2+5x-6\] and then combine like terms

Answer 4

ok

Answer 5

thanks you
