Answer 8

alright let's see what we got here

Answer 9

ok

Answer 10

so you have a list of x values that when you put in f(x) you get the list of f(x) and when you put it in g(x) you get the value of g(x)

Answer 11

for example when x =1, f(x) = 5 and g(x) = -3

Answer 12

when x = 2, f(x) =25 and g(x) = -3

Answer 13

wait, so is it c?

Answer 14

i think you wrote down d wrong. its the same as c

Answer 15

check your options again

Answer 16

ok

Answer 20

draw it

Answer 21

the other one was

Answer 22

ahhh that makes more sense

Answer 23

ok so you have 4 functions

Answer 24

first put 1 as x in each function and see what you get

Answer 25

then you go back to f(x) and g(x) table values and add the first ones together because it says f(x) + g(x) and see if you get the same value from the functions

Answer 26

for 1 you will get multiple right answers

Answer 27

for 2 you will only get 1 right answer
