Answer: (f-g)(2)=14

Step-by-step explanation:

(f – g) (-2) means the same as subtracting f(2) and g(2). Since we are given f(x) and g(x), we can use them to solve. There are two ways to solve. One is to find f(2) and g(2), and then subtract them. Another way is to do (f-g)(x), then plug in x=2. I will show both methods.

Method 1

f(2)=3(2)²+1                                [exponent]

f(2)=3(4)+1                                  [multiply]

f(2)=12+1                                     [add]

f(2)=13

g(2)=1-(2)                                    [subtract]

g(2)=-1                  

(f-g)(2)=13-(-1)                            [subtract f(2) and g(2)]

(f-g)(2)=14

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Method 2

(f-g)(x)=3x²+1-(1-x)                     [distribute -1]

(f-g)(x)=3x²+1-1+x                      [combine like terms]

(f-g)(x)=3x²+x

(f-g)(2)=3(2)²+2                         [plug in x=2, exponent]

(f-g)(2)=3(4)+2                           [multiply]

(f-g)(2)=12+2                             [add]

(f-g)(2)=14

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now, we know that (f-g)(2)=14. We confirmed this with both methods.

A man is 32 years old and his son is 5 years old. How many years hence will the
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

the current ages:

father= 32 yrs old

son=5 yrs old

-------

4(5+x) = 32+x

20+4x = 32+x

4x-x = 32–20

3x =12

x = 12/3

x = 4 years

------------------------------------

after the 4 years later the farther age will be 36 ( 32+4 = 36)

the son will be 9 ( 5+4= 9 years)

the x presents how the father will be after 4 times the age of the son

Determine if the triangle with the given sides is acute, obtuse, or right. 36, 49, 60
kotykmax [81]
<span>When given 3 triangle sides, to determine if the triangle is acute, right or obtuse:
</span>1) Square all 3 sides.
2) Sum the squares of the 2 shortest sides.
3) Compare this sum to the square of the 3rd side.

if sum > 3rd side²   Acute Triangle
if sum = 3rd side²   Right Triangle<span>
if sum < 3rd side²   Obtuse Triangle

1) 1,296   2,401   3,600
2) Sum = 3,697
3) </span><span>3,697 is greater than 3,600
Therefore, the triangle is acute.
