Question

F(x) = x2 -2x & g(x) = 12-8x. Find f(2) - g(3)

Answer 1

Answer: 24

=========================================

Work Shown:

f(x) = x^2 - 2x

f(2) = 2^2 - 2*2 ... replace every x with 2

f(2) = 4 - 4

f(2) = 0

----------------------------

g(x) = 12-8x

g(3) = 12-8*3 ... replace every x with 3

g(3) = 12-24

g(3) = -24

----------------------------

Subtract the results of the previous two sections

f(2) - g(3) = 0 - (-24)

f(2) - g(3) = 0 + 24

f(2) - g(3) = 24
