Answer:

\boxed{\sf (f - g)(x) = 2x - 3}

Given:

f(x) = 3x - 1

g(x) = x + 2

To Find:

(f - g)(x)

Step-by-step explanation:

\sf (f -g)(x) = f(x) - g(x) \\ \\   \sf \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:   \:  \:  \: =(3x - 1) - (x + 2) \\  \\ \sf \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:   \:  \:  \: =3x - 1 - x - 2 \\  \\ \sf \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:   \:  \:  \: =3x - x - 1 - 2 \\  \\ \sf \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:   \:  \:  \: =(3x - x) - (1 + 2) \\  \\ \sf \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:   \:  \:  \: =2x - (1 + 2) \\  \\ \sf \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:   \:  \:  \: =2x - 3

Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

<h2>18</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of a distance between two points:

d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}

We have the points (5, -7) and (5, 11). Substitute:

d=\sqrt{(5-5)^2+(11-(-7))^2}=\sqrt{0^2+18^2}=\sqrt{18^2}=18

Solve the following quadratic equation. Express your answers in exact form.
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

x = (2+√10)/ 3 and x= (2-√10/3)

Step-by-step explanation:

g(x) = -3x² +4x +2

use the quadratic formula x= (-b±√b²-4ac)/2a, when g(x) = ax² +bx +c

x= [-4 ±√4²-4*(-3)*2] / 2*(-3) , solve under the square root

x= (-4 ± √16 +24) / -6 , add under the radical

x= (-4 ±√40) / -6, simplify the square root

x= (-4 ±2√10) /-6, factor -2

x= -2 (2±√10)/-2 *3, simplify -2

x= (2±√10)/3

Therefore,

x = (2+√10)/ 3 and x= (2-√10/3)
