Question

Let f(x) = 3x^2 + x - 3 and g(x) = x^2 - 5x + 1. Find f(x) - g(x).

2x^2 - 4x - 2

2x^2 - 4x - 4

2x^2 + 6x - 2

2x^2 + 6x - 4

Answer 1

you are subtracting f(x) and g(x) so basically combine like terms while subtracting
\[(3x^2+x-3)-(x^2-5x+1)\]
dont forget to distribute the negative into g(x)

Answer 2

2x^2+6x−4

Answer 3

yes :) you got it

Answer 4

so you just took the two problems and combine?

Answer 5

oh i see, didn't pay attention to fx - gx

Answer 6

yes but read the question carefully find "f(x)-g(x)"

Answer 7

that negative would need to be distributed in g(x)

Answer 8

okay, thanks for the help!

Answer 9

you're welcome
