Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(f - g)(x)

= f(x) - g(x)

= 3x² - 4 - (x + 2) ← distribute parenthesis by - 1

= 3x² - 4 - x - 2 ← collect like terms

= 3x² - x - 6

$\large \boxed{\mathbb{ANSWER\: WITH\: EXPLANATION} \downarrow}$

$\sf \: x ^ { 2 } - 36$

Rewrite $\sf\:x^{2}-36 as x^{2}-6^{2}$ . The difference of squares can be factored using the rule: $\sf\: a^{2}-b^{2}=\left(a-b\right)\left(a+b\right)$ .

$\boxed{ \boxed{ \bf\left(x-6\right)\left(x+6\right) }}$

$\sf \: 49 - x ^ { 2 }$

Rewrite 49-x² as 7²-x². The difference of squares can be factored using the rule: $\sf\:a^{2}-b^{2}=\left(a-b\right)\left(a+b\right)$ .

$\sf \: \left(7-x\right)\left(7+x\right)$

Reorder the terms.

$\boxed{ \boxed{ \bf\left(-x+7\right)\left(x+7\right) }}$

Study the function below. f(x) = –3x Label the function as proportional or non-proportional. Explain your reasoning.

Nimfa-mama [501]

Y = f(x) = -3x y = -3x y = (constant) x y is proportional to x.<span> Hence we can say Y is proportional to x , having (-3) as proportionality Constant. hope this helps</span>
