I would assume that you subsitute as usual, but g is negative
(f-g)(x)=(3x+2)-(2x-2)
(f-g)(x)=3x+2-2x+2
(f-g)(x)=x+4

$f(x)=3x+2 \\
g(x)=2x-2 \\ \\
(f-g)(x)=f(x)-g(x)=3x+2-(2x-2)=3x+2-2x+2=\\
=x+4 \\ \\
\boxed{(f-g)(x)=x+4}$

Muke is sick with the flu but he still cors to school on monday. He areives at 8am and by 9am (hour 1) muke has already infected

Answer:

$\begin{array}{ccccccccc}{Hours} & {0} & {1} & {2} & {3} & {4}& {5} & {6} & {7} \ \\ {Persons} & {1} & {2} & {4} & {8} & {16}& {32} & {64} & {128} \ \end{array}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for complete question

Solving (a): Complete the table

Let

$x = hours$

$y = persons$

From the table question, we have:

$(x_1,y_1) = (0,1)$

$(x_2,y_2) = (1,2)$

$(x_3,y_3) = (2,4)$

The pattern follows that, an increment in x by doubles the value of 1.

So, the other values are:

$(x_4,y_4) = (3,8)$

$(x_5,y_5) = (4,16)$

$(x_6,y_6) = (5,32)$

$(x_7,y_7) = (6,64)$

$(x_8,y_8) = (7,128)$

So, the complete table is:

$\begin{array}{ccccccccc}{Hours} & {0} & {1} & {2} & {3} & {4}& {5} & {6} & {7} \ \\ {Persons} & {1} & {2} & {4} & {8} & {16}& {32} & {64} & {128} \ \end{array}$

Solving (b): The graph

The table follows an exponential function:

$y = ab^x$

We have: $(x_1,y_1) = (0,1)$

This gives:

$y = ab^x$

$1 = ab^0$

$b^0 \to 1$

So:

$1 = a*1$

$1 = a$

$a =1$

Also: $(x_5,y_5) = (4,16)$

This gives:

$y = ab^x$

$16 = 1 * b^4$

$16 = b^4$

$16 \to 2^4$

So:

$2^4 = b^4$

Cancel the exponents (4)

$2 =b$

$b = 2$

So, the function $y = ab^x$ is:

$y = 2^x$

What is 3 2/9 times 1 5/7

REY [17]

First set the fractions into improper fractions...
29/9 * 12/7 = 348/63
simplify 116/21
turn back into mixed fractions and you get 5 11/21

Plz answer will give brainliest

Alex73 [517]

Given quadratic equation

$x^2+6x+6=0$
Using the usual conventions,
a=1, b=6, c=6
Apply the quadratic formula,
$x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$
substitute a,b & c with numerical values,
$x=\frac{-6\pm\sqrt{6^2-4(1)(6)}}{2(1)}$
simplify:
$x=\frac{-6\pm\sqrt{12}}{2}$
