F(x) = 3x-1
g(x) = x+2

Find (f-g)(x), this means we need to subtract g from x.

(3x-1) - (x+2)

Subtract the like terms:

3x -x = 2x

-1 -2 = -3

Combine them to get 2x-3

The answer is A.

Answer:

Option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given functions are

$f(x)=3x-1$

$g(x)=x+2$

we need to find the function (f-g)(x).

Using the composition of functions the subtraction of two functions is defined as

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

Substitute the given values of functions f(x) and g(x).

$(f-g)(x)=(3x-1)-(x+2)$

$(f-g)(x)=3x-1-x-2$

On combining line terms we get

$(f-g)(x)=(3x-x)+(-1-2)$

$(f-g)(x)=2x-3$

Therefore, the correct option is A.

Consider the parabola given by the equation: f(x) = 4x² - 6x - 8 Find the following for this parabola: A) The vertex: Preview B)

jeyben [28]

Answer:

The vertex: $(\frac{3}{4},-\frac{41}{4} )$

The vertical intercept is: $y=-8$

The coordinates of the two intercepts of the parabola are $(\frac{3+\sqrt{41} }{4} , 0)$ and $(\frac{3-\sqrt{41} }{4} , 0)$

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the vertex of the parabola $4x^2-6x-8$ you need to:

1. Find the coefficients <em>a</em>, <em>b</em>, and <em>c </em>of the parabola equation

<em> $a=4, b=-6, \:and \:c=-8$ </em>

2. You can apply this formula to find x-coordinate of the vertex

$x=-\frac{b}{2a}$ , so

$x=-\frac{-6}{2\cdot 4}\\x=\frac{3}{4}$

3. To find the y-coordinate of the vertex you use the parabola equation and x-coordinate of the vertex ( $f(-\frac{b}{2a})=a(-\frac{b}{2a})^2+b(-\frac{b}{2a})+c$ )

$f(-\frac{b}{2a})=a(-\frac{b}{2a})^2+b(-\frac{b}{2a})+c\\f(\frac{3}{4})=4\cdot (\frac{3}{4})^2-6\cdot (\frac{3}{4})-8\\y=\frac{-41}{4}$

To find the vertical intercept you need to evaluate x = 0 into the parabola equation

$f(x)=4x^2-6x-8\\f(0)=4(0)^2-6\cdot 0-0\\f(0)=-8$

To find the coordinates of the two intercepts of the parabola you need to solve the parabola by completing the square

$\mathrm{Add\:}8\mathrm{\:to\:both\:sides}$

$x^2-6x-8+8=0+8$

$\mathrm{Simplify}$

$4x^2-6x=8$

$\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}4$

$\frac{4x^2-6x}{4}=\frac{8}{4}\\x^2-\frac{3x}{2}=2$

$\mathrm{Write\:equation\:in\:the\:form:\:\:}x^2+2ax+a^2=\left(x+a\right)^2$

$x^2-\frac{3x}{2}+\left(-\frac{3}{4}\right)^2=2+\left(-\frac{3}{4}\right)^2\\x^2-\frac{3x}{2}+\left(-\frac{3}{4}\right)^2=\frac{41}{16}$

$\left(x-\frac{3}{4}\right)^2=\frac{41}{16}$

$\mathrm{For\:}f^2\left(x\right)=a\mathrm{\:the\:solutions\:are\:}f\left(x\right)=\sqrt{a},\:-\sqrt{a}$

$x_1=\frac{\sqrt{41}+3}{4},\:x_2=\frac{-\sqrt{41}+3}{4}$

Mary Palm's checking account had a starting balance of $785.63. She wrote a check for $57.00 for groceries and a check for $125.

wariber [46]

785.63-(57+125)
=785.63-182
=603.63

603.63+57.25=$660.87

ILL MARK AS BRAINLIEST!! AND GIVE 10 POINTS!!! Are the following lines parallel, perpendicular, or neither?

Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

b perpendicular

Step-by-step explanation:

all that is needed to do is the Y2 - y1 / X2 - X1 formula and then compare the two slopes making sure they are inverse opposites

Line 1) -7 -8 / -3 -2 X= 3X

Line 2) -3 - 0 / 12 - 3 X = -1 / 3X

Because they are inverse opposites of each other they are perpendicular had they had the exact same slopes they would have been parallels.
