Consider functions f and g below. f(x) = -9x^2 - 7x + 12 g(x) = 3x^2 - 4x - 15 find f(x) - g(x). a. -12x^2 - 11x - 3 b. 6x^2 - 11x + 27 c. -6x^2 + 3x - 3 d. -12x^2 - 3x + 27

D

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) - g(x) = -9x^2 - 7x + 12 - (3x^2 - 4x - 15)  Remove the brackets

f(x) - g(x) = -9x^2 - 7x  + 12 - 3x^2 + 4x + 15

f(x) - g(x) = -9x^2 - 3x^2 - 7x + 4x + 12 + 15

f(x) - g(x) = -12x^2- 3x + 27

Answer D

Option D. -12x² - 3x + 27

Step-by-step explanation:

The given functions are f(x) = -9x² - 7x + 12 and g(x) = 3x² - 4x - 15

We have to find the value of f(x) - g(x)

f(x) - g(x) = (-9x² - 7x + 12) - (3x² - 4x - 15)

              = -9x² - 7x + 12 - 3x² + 4x + 15

              = (-9x² - 3x²) - (7x - 4x) + 12 + 15

              = -12x² - 3x + 27

This value of f(x) - g(x) matches with option D.

Therefore, Option D. is the correct option.

i would need to see the dot plot : )
