Answer:
A line perpendicular to another has a slope that is the negative reciprocal of the slope of the other line. The negative reciprocal of the original line is –2, and is thus the slope of its perpendicular line.

Answer:
(f + g)(x) = x² + 4x - 4
Step-by-step explanation:
The statement (f + g)(x) is the same as f(x) + g(x). In other words, the question simply wants you to add the two functions together.
f(x) = 4x + 1
g(x) = x² - 5
(f + g)(x) <----- Original statement
f(x) + g(x) <----- Rewrite
(4x + 1) + (x² - 5) <----- Substitute the equations in f(x) and g(x)
4x + x² - 4 <----- Add 1 and -5
x² + 4x - 4 <----- Rearrange the terms
