Question

Given the parent functions f(x) = 3x + 2 and g(x) = 5x − 10, what is g(x) − f(x)?

Answer 1

Have you considered subtraction?

Answer 2

don't forget parentheses
what the monkey is a "parent function" ??

Answer 3

Consider that

f(x) = 3x + 2

g(x) = 5x − 10

OK?

Answer 4

Ok go on i'm getting this.

Answer 5

f(x) - g(x) just means

subtract what g(x) is equal to from what f(x) is equal to.

Answer 6

rewrite f(x)-g(x) in numbers for me really quick please.

Answer 7

so (3x+2)-(5x-10)

Answer 8

THERE YOU GO!

Answer 9

Ok! yes let me continue I think you hit my smart string

Answer 10

Ok, just in case, when you are done tell me what you get as the final answer.

Answer 11

ok I will

Answer 12

I got −2(x−6)

Answer 17

You got the answer.

Answer 18

wait what which one is the answer?
g(x) − f(x) = 5x − 8 − 3x

g(x) − f(x) = 5x − 12 − 3x

g(x) − f(x) = 3x − 8 − 5x

g(x) − f(x) = 3x + 12 − 5x

Answer 19

@SolomonZelman

Answer 20

(3x+2)-(5x-10)
3x+2-5x+10
-2x+12

D is most accurate, although for real, they are legit messed up, all of them.....
