Question

Does (f - g)(x) result in the same function as (g - f)(x)? Explain

Answer 1

No it does not. Think of it in simple terms such as this:
(5-2)(10)= (f-g)(x)
5-2= 3
Multiply by 10
=30

Now if we do (g - f)(x) it would look like this
(2-5)(10)
2-5=(-3)
Multiply by 10
=(-30)

Positive and negative numbers are and never will be the same : )
