Question

If f(x) = 2x – 1 and g(x) = x2 – 3x - 2, find (f + g)(x).

Answer 1

Answer: Option B

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

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem we have the function

$f(x) = 2x - 1$

and the function

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

They ask us to perform the operation:

$(f + g)(x)$

Therefore we must perform the algebaic summa of the function f plus the function g

$(f + g)(x)=f(x) + g(x)$

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

Now we siplify the expression

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