Question

Given the parent functions f(x) = 5x − 1 and g(x) = 3^x − 9, what is g(x) − f(x)?

Answer 1

\(g(x)-f(x) = 3^x-9-(5x-1)\)

Answer 2

so \[3^x-5x-10 \] !!!! I don't get this!!!!

Answer 3

I just took \(g(x) \) and subtracted \(f(x)\). You just need to simplify.

Answer 4

no not -10

Answer 5

combine -1 and -9 to get -10
:( ????

Answer 6

\(3^x-9-(5x-1)=3^x-9-5x-(-1)=3^x-9-5x+1\)

Answer 7

ohh a neg and a neg make a pos

Answer 8

haha me so stupid lmao

Answer 9

This is why I used parenthesis in my first post.

\[g(x)-f(x) = 3^x-9-(5x-1)\]

Always use parentheses

Answer 10

<3 lmao

Answer 11

parentheses*
