Given
f(x)= -3x - 5
g(x)= 4x - 2
Find
(f - g)(x)
substitute the f and g values in (f - g)
(f - g)(x)= -3x - 5 - (4x - 2)
change the signs in parentheses because there is a negative sign in front of the parentheses
(f - g)(x)= -3x - 5 - 4x + 2
combine like terms
(f - g)(x)= -7x - 3
ANSWER: (f - g)(x)= -7x - 3
Hope this helps! :)
The area of the trapezoid is calculated through the equation,
A = 0.5(b₁ + b₂)h
where b₁ and b₂ are the bases and h is the height. Substituting the known values from the given,
A = 0.5(9.6 + 25)(90) = 1557 mi²
Therefore, the approximate area of the country is 1557 mi².
<u>27 = 6x + 4y </u>= 1 7/20 = 3 4/5<u>
</u>20 = 2x + 5y<u>
</u>
In both cases,

(as a consequence of the interesecting secant-tangent theorem)
So we have
10.





(omit the negative solution because that would make at least one of AB or AD have negative length)
11.




(again, omit the solutions that would give a negative length for either AB or AD)
