Can someone work with me to check some of my homework answers?
Suppose that the functions g and h are defined for all real numbers x as follows.
g(x) = x – 2
h(x) = 4x + 2
Write the expressions for (g * h) and (g – h ) (x) and evaluate (g + h) (1).
My answers:
(g * h) (x) = 64
(g – h) (x) = 4x^2 – 6x – 4
(g + h) (s) = 4x^2 + 6x + 4

I believe you are correct. But hold on.

Ok.
OpenStudy (blurbendy):
i dont see how you got 64, for g(x) * h(x)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Ok, what did you get?

(x-2)(4x +2)
then foil
OpenStudy (blurbendy):
= 4x^2 -6x -4
OpenStudy (blurbendy):
g - x =
(x -2) - (4x + 2) =
-3x -4
OpenStudy (blurbendy):
g - h, not g - x, oops

When I multiplied (g * h) (x) = 64 I got this answer.
Are you saying all of the answers are incorrect?

Can you tell me what the correct answers are?
