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.

Joshua invested $750 in an account paying an interest rate of
Maslowich
Due to the difference in the interest rate and the quarterly compounding, Joshua will have $212.24 more than Josiah.
Step-by-step explanation:
Giving the following information:
Joshua:
Initial investment (PV)= $750
Interest rate (i)= 0.0341/4= 0.008525
Number of periods (n)= 18*4= 72 quarters
Josiah:
Initial investment (PV)= $750
Interest rate (i)= 0.0285
Number of periods (n)= 18 years
To calculate the future value of each one, we need to use the following formula:
FV= PV*(1 + i)^n
Joshua:
FV= 750*(1.008525^72)
FV= $1,381.98
Josiah:
FV= 750*(1.0285^18)
FV= $1,169.74
Due to the difference in the interest rate and the quarterly compounding, Joshua will have $212.24 more than Josiah.
