Answer: The number of ceral boxes per day.
Because the slope will be [rise of the grah of the model function] / [run of the graph of the model function].
rise = [increase in the number of cereal boxes sold]
run = [days elapsed ]
rise / run = number of cereal boxes sold per day
Remember that, although it may look intimidating, (f+g)(x) is simply f(x) + g(x)
Therefore:
(f+g)(x) = f(x) + g(x) Substitute the functions for f(x) and g(x)
(f+g)(x) = (2x² + 1 )+ (x² - 7)
Notice that we first want to write the functions in as parenthesis before we add them. This helps us keep from getting confused on what signs to give each term.
(f+ g)(x) = 2x² + x² + 1 - 7 Collect like terms
(f + g) (x) = 3x² - 6
