Question

Two Martians, Splott and Fizzle, invite you to pilot their giant robot. The heat generated by one leg mechanism is represented by the function f(x) = 3x2 + 20. The heat generated by one arm mechanism is represented by g(x) = 3x2 + 4x - 5. Describe to Splott and Fizzle, using complete sentences, which of the operations—addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division—will result in the largest degree function and which operation will result in the smallest degree function

(The answer needs a little polish.)

We are finding the degrees using subtraction,division,addition, and multiplication.

the degree when you subtract the two functions = 1
the degree when you divide the 2 functions =1
the degree when you multiply the 2 functions = 4

the operation that gives you the highest degree is multiplication
and the lowest would be subtraction and division
