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.

The graphs shown are of the form y = ax2. Which graph has the smallest value for a?

Talja [164]

$y= x^{2}$ is a parabola (looks like the letter U).

The letter a represents the coefficient of $x^{2}$ and it controls two things (1) how wide or narrow the parabola is and (2) whether it is concave up (like a U) or concave down (like an up-side-down).

The absolute value of a (the number without the sign) controls how wide or narrow it is. If the absolute value is a fraction less than 1 the graph gets wider. The smaller the absolute value of the fraction the wider the graph gets.

If the absolute value of a is greater than 1 the graph gets narrower (it gets skinnier). The bigger the absolute value the narrower the graph.

So, if all the graphs look like a U (concave up) then the one with the smallest a is the one that is the widest.

The a also controls whether the graph is concave up or concave down. If a is negative

If a is negative the graph is concave down so any graph that is concave down has a smaller value of a than any graph that is concave up. However, if the graph is concave down the one with the smallest a would be the most narrow one.

So to find the one with the smallest a...
If they are all concave up (like a U) pick the widest one
and
If they are not all concave up pick the narrowest one that is concave down (looks like an upside down U)

Using the segment addition postulate, which is true? A number line going from negative 9 to positive 9. A closed circle appears

boyakko [2]

Answer:

The answer is given below

Step-by-step explanation:

The addition postulate for line segment states that if we have points A, C and a point B on line AC, The distance between points A and C can be given as:

AC = AB + BC

Point A is at -6, point B is at -1, point C is at +2 and point D is at point 8.

Therefore using line segment postulates:

AD = AB + BC + CD

But AB = -1 - (-6)= -1 + 6 = 5

BC = 2- (-1) = 2 +1 = 3

CD = 8 - (+2) = 8 - 2 = 6

Also AD = 8 - (-6) = 8 + 6 = 14

To prove AD = AB + BC + CD

AD = 5 + 3 + 6 = 14

Mr Yang’s son has a total of twenty-one $1 and $2 coins in his money box. When he counts his money, he finds that its total valu

irina [24]

Hello!

To solve this, first assume all the coins are $1. Then, find the value that would have. 1 * 21 = $21.

Now, see how far away from $30 we are. 30 - 21 = 9. Therefore, we need an increase by $9.

For each coin changed from a $1 to a $2, how much of an increase is there? $1. Therefore, change 9 coins to $2 coins to have an increase of $9. If he has 9 $2 coins, he'll have 21 - 9 $1 coins, or 12.

Therefore, your final answer is 12 $1 coins and 9 $2 coins.

Hope this helps!
