Question

Use the functions h(x) = 2x + 5 and t(x) = 7x − 6 to complete the function operations listed below.

Answer 1

We have to use the functions:
h ( x ) = 2 x + 5 and t ( x ) = 7 x - 6
Part A:
( h + t ) ( x ) = ( 2 x + 5 )  + ( 7 x - 6 ) = 9 x - 1
Part B :
( h · t ) ( x ) = ( 2 x + 5 ) · ( 7 x - 6 ) = 14 x² - 12 x + 35 x - 30 =
= 14 x² + 23 x - 30
Part C :
h [ t ( x ) ] = h ( 7 x - 6 ) = 2 · ( 7 x - 6 ) + 5 = 14 x - 12 + 5 =
= 14 x - 7
