Question

Given the following functions f(x) and g(x), solve (f + g)(5) and select the correct answer below: f(x)=2x^2-10 g(x)=x+9

Answer 1

Answer:

$\large\boxed{(f+g)(5)=54}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$f(x)=2x^2-10,\ g(x)=x+9\\\\(f+g)(x)=f(x)+g(x)\\\\\text{Substitute:}\\\\(f+g)(x)=(2x^2-10)+(x+9)=2x^2-10+x+9=2x^2+x+(-10+9)\\\\(f+g)(x)=2x^2+x-1\\\\(f+g)(x)(5)\to\text{put x = 5 to the equation of the function:}\\\\(f+g)(5)=2(5^2)+5-1=2(25)+5-1=50+5-1=54$
