Option A
If f(x) = and g(x) =
then
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that f(x) = and g(x) =
To find: (f - g)(x)
We know that,
(f – g)(x) = f (x) - g(x)
Let us substitute the given values of f(x) and g(x) in above formula,
For solving the brackets in above expression,
There are two simple rules to remember:
When you multiply a negative number by a positive number then the product is always negative.
When you multiply two negative numbers or two positive numbers then the product is always positive.
So the expression becomes,
Combining the like terms,
Thus option A is correct
Answer:
a₆ = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
The nth term of an arithmetic sequence is
= a₁ + (n - 1)d
where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference
Given a₂ = 5 and a₁₀ = 19 , then
a₁ + d = 5 → (1)
a₁ + 9d = 19 → (2)
Subtract (1) from (2) term by term to eliminate a₁
8d = 14 ( divide both sides by 8 )
d = 1.75
Substitute d = 1.75 into (1)
a₁ + 1.75 = 5 ( subtract 1.75 from both sides )
a₁ = 3.25
Then
a₆ = 3.25 + 5(1.75) = 3.25 + 8.75 = 12
