Question

Given the parent functions f(x) = 5x − 1 and g(x) = 3x − 9, what is g(x) − f(x)?
g(x) − f(x) = 3x − 8 − 5x <
-----
g(x) − f(x) = 3x − 10 − 5x
g(x) − f(x) = −2x − 8 − 3x
g(x) − f(x) = −2x − 10 − 3x

Answer 1

@ThatCreepyBoy
g(x) - f(x) means to perform the following operation: (3x - 9) - (5x - 1)

Answer 2

Do I solve

Answer 3

(3x - 9) - (5x - 1)

Answer 4

Distribute 2nd parenthess by negative and then combine like terms

Answer 5

Huh o.o

Answer 6

Distributive property\[\color{Red}{-a}(b+c)=(b \cdot\color{red}{ -a}) + (c \cdot \color{red}{-a})\] multiply -1 with each term inside the parentheses
