Hi there!

• f(x) = 3x + 1
• g(x) = x² - 6

Then,
According to th' question :-

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

= 3x + 1 - (x² - 6)

= 3x + 1 - x² + 6

= -x² + 3x + 7

Hence,
Option 2ⁿᵈ : -x² + 3x + 7 is Correct.

~ Hope it helps!

Answer:

Option B. -x² + 3x + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The given functions are f(x) = 3x + 1 and g(x) = x² - 6

we have to find the value of (f - g)(x)

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

By replacing the values of f(x) and g(x) in the equation.

f(x) - g(x) = (3x + 1) - (x² - 6)

= 3x + 1 - x² + 6

= 3x + 7 - x²

= -x² + 3x + 7

Therefore, option B. f(x) - g(x) = -x² + 3x + 7 is the correct option.

Use linear approximation, i.e. the tangent line, to approximate √16.4 as follows: Let f(x)=√x. Find the equation of the tangent

Ivahew [28]

Answer:

$L(x)=\frac{1}{8}x+2\\ L(16.4)=4.05$

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for a tangent line of f(x) in the point (a,f(a)) can be calculated as:

L(x) = f(a) + f'(a)(x-a)

Where L(x) is also call a linear approximation and f'(a) is the value of the derivative of f(x) in (a,f(a)).

So, the derivative of f(x) is:

$f(x)=\sqrt{x} \\f'(x)=\frac{1}{2\sqrt{x} }$

Then, to find the linear approximation we are going to use the point (16, f(16)). So a is 16 and f(a) and f'(a) are calculated as:

$f(16)=\sqrt{16}=4\\f'(16)=\frac{1}{2\sqrt{16} }=\frac{1}{8}$

Then, replacing the values, we get that the equation of the tangent line in (16,4) is:

$L(x)=4+\frac{1}{8}(x-16)\\L(x) = \frac{1}{8}x+2$

Finally, the approximation for $\sqrt{16.4}$ is:

$L(16.4)=\frac{1}{8}(16.4)+2\\ L(16.4)=4.05$

Keith_Richards [23]

If mark celebrated his 8th birthday 10 years ago then mark is 18 years old. Jess is twice as old as mark so Jess is 36 years old. Julie is 26 less than mark and jess combined so Julie is 28 years old. Gwen is two years older than Julie so Gwen is 30 years old. The twins are 2 less than 1/3 of gwen so the twins are 8 years old
