gregori [183]

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{(f-g)\left(-\dfrac{1}{3}\right)=-3\dfrac{1}{3}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\text{We have}:\\\\f(x)=x^2-4\ \text{and}\ g(x)=x^2+2x\\\\(f-g)(x)=f(x)-g(x)\\\\\text{therefore}\\\\(f-g)(x)=(x^2-4)-(x^2+2x)=x^2-4-x^2-2x\\\\=(x^2-x^2)-2x-4=-2x-4\\\\(f-g)\left(-\dfrac{1}{3}\right)\to\text{put}\ x=-\dfrac{1}{3}\ \text{to the equation of the function}\ (f-g)(x):\\\\(f-g)\left(-\dfrac{1}{3}\right)=-2\left(-\dfrac{1}{3}\right)-4=\dfrac{2}{3}-4=-3\dfrac{1}{3}$
