If f(x) = 3x + 2 and
g(x) = 2x- 2,
what is (f - g)(x)?
a. x+4
b. x-2
c. x
d. 5x – 2
e. x-4

Step-by-step explanation:

(f - g)(x) = f(x) - g(x)

f(x) = 3x + 2, g(x) = 2x - 2.

Substitute:

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

combine like terms

(f - g)(x) = (3x - 2x) + (2 + 2) = x + 4

56.6

step-by-step explanation:

the ratio of the perimeters is equal to the scale.

the ratio of the areas is equal to the square of the scale.

34 / 20 = k

a / 19.6 = k²

substituting:

a / 19.6 = (34 / 20)²

a = 19.6 (34 / 20)²

a ≈ 56.6
