Question

he tables for f(x) and g(x) are shown below. ="#c0c0ff"> x ="#c0c0ff"> f(x) –5 –11 –2 1 1 13 5 29 ="#c0c0ff"> x ="#c0c0ff"> g(x) –5 –7 –2 –1 1 5 5 13 What is the value of (f – g)(5)? –18 –4 16 42

Answer 1

Answer : 16

Given f(x) table is

x     –5   –2    1      5

f(x)   –11     1    13    29

Given g(x) table is

x      -5    –2     1     5

g(x)   –7   –1     5    13

We need to find the value of (f-g)(5)

(f - g) (5) = f (5) - g(5)

We know f(5) = 29 and g(5) = 13 from the table

(f - g) (5) = f (5) - g(5) = 29 - 13 = 16

the value of (f – g)(5) is 16
