Please help! I will medal and fan. Find (f-g)(x):

Find (f-g)(x): \[f(x)=x^{2}-4; g(x)=x+2\]

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

hint: by definition, we have: \[\left( {f - g} \right)\left( x \right) = f\left( x \right) - g\left( x \right) = ...?\]

Okay, So, (I'm sorry. I have no clue how to figure this question out.) I would get the sum of f(x) and g(x) and subtract them?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

we have to replace teh definitions of \(f(x)\) and \(g(x)\), in such formula above: \[\Large \begin{gathered} \left( {f - g} \right)\left( x \right) = f\left( x \right) - g\left( x \right) = \hfill \\ \hfill \\ = \left( {{x^2} - 4} \right) - \left( {x + 2} \right) = ...? \hfill \\ \end{gathered} \]
