Question

The area of two rectangles is given by he functions: area of a rectangle A:f(x)= 4x2+6x area of rectangle B:g(x)=3x2-x Which function represents the difference? A.h(x)=7x2-5x B.h(x)=x2-7x C.h(x)=x2+5x D.h(x)=x2+7x

Answer 1

Answer:

x^2+7x if you are asked to find the difference of a function f and function g

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to A-B or f(x)-g(x).

(4x^2+6x)-(3x^2-x)

4x^2+6x-3x^2+x

The like terms I'm going to pair up.

4x^2-3x^2+6x+x

1x^2          +7x

x^2            +7x

The answer is x^2+7x

Answer 2

Answer:

OPTION D: $h(x)=x^2+7x$

Step-by-step explanation:

You know that the area of Rectangle A is given by :

$f(x)= 4x^2+6x$

And the area of Rectangle B is given by:

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

Therefore, in otder to find the function that represents the difference, you need to subtract the functions f(x) and g(x).

Then, you get this function h(x):

 $h(x)=f(x)-g(x)\\\\h(x)= (4x^2+6x)-(3x^2-x)\\\\h(x)=4x^2+6x-3x^2+x\\\\h(x)=x^2+7x$
