help pleasee

f(x) =x^2 -4 ; g(x) = x+ 2 which is equal to (f + g) (x) x^2 -2 x^2 + 4x x^2 + x -2 x^3 + 2x^2 -4x -8

@Dscdago can you help?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Here you are adding the functions together. (f+g)(x)= f(x) + g(x) so that means. x^2-4 + x+2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You put similar variables together. or simplify.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2x^2 - 2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Note that x^2 and x are not the same. They are separate.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

They are different variables.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so x^2 + x - 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Correct.
