20 possibilities based on this as a combination not a permutation, 6 nCr 3 = 20
1. 3x^1 + 8 - (2x^2 + 1).....distribute the negative thru the parenthesis
3x^1 + 8 - 2x^2 - 1....now combine like terms
-2x^2 + 3x^1 + 7
2. 5x^2 + 3x - 4 - (x^2 - 6x)...same thing..distribute
5x^2 + 3x - 4 - x^2 + 6x...combine like terms
4x^2 + 9x - 4
f(x) is a multiple of the cosine function. g(x) is a multiple of the sine function. Both the cosine function and the sine function have a maximum value of 1, so the magnitude of the multiple will determine which function has the largest maximum value.
The multiple for f is 2; the multiple for g is 3, which is greater than 2. Hence g(x) has a larger maximum value than f(x).
