Question

If f(x) = 3x + 2 and g(x) = 2x – 2, what is (f – g)(x)?
x + 4
x – 2
x
5x – 2

x – 4

Answer 1

This just means \[f(x)-g(x)\]

Answer 2

\[(f-g)(x) = 3x+2-(2x-2)\]

Answer 3

I'm not sure what you mean?

Answer 4

it means the function of f(x) - the function of g(x)

Answer 5

So you combine the two equations and that is the result?

Answer 6

\[(f-g)(x) = f(x)-g(x)\] subtract function g(x) from f(x).

Answer 7

yes... but please remember to distribute the negative for the right hand side of the equation

Answer 8

f(x) = 3x+2 and g(x) = 2x -2

so for (f-g)(x) which is the same as f(x) - g(x)
it's the f(x) function minus the g(x) function

so place your functions in here

f(x) - g(x)
then distribute that minus sign on the g(x) portion of the equation.

Answer 9

and we got to combine like terms afterwards.

Answer 10

I think it's x + 4

Answer 11

Yeup!
