Explanation:
An arithmetic sequence has a common difference, meaning you use addition or subtraction to get from term to term, and each term in the sequence is an equal distance apart.
A geometric sequence has a common ratio, meaning that you use multiplication or division to get from term to term.
If you look at this sequence:
14-2 = 12
12-2 = 10
10-2 = 8
8 -2 = 4
etc.
Because you are subtracting 2 each time, 2 is the common difference, and the sequence is arithmetic.

We have 2 denominators that we need to get rid of. Whenever there are the denominators, all we have to do is multiply all whole equation with the denominators.
Our denominators are both 2 and x+1. Therefore, we multiply the whole equation by 2(x+1)
![\frac{x}{2}[2(x+1)]-\frac{2}{x+1}[2(x+1)] = 1[2(x+1)]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7Bx%7D%7B2%7D%5B2%28x%2B1%29%5D-%5Cfrac%7B2%7D%7Bx%2B1%7D%5B2%28x%2B1%29%5D%20%3D%201%5B2%28x%2B1%29%5D)
Then shorten the fractions.
![\frac{x}{2}[2(x+1)]-\frac{2}{x+1}[2(x+1)] = 1[2(x+1)]\\x(x+1)-2(2)=1(2x+2)](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7Bx%7D%7B2%7D%5B2%28x%2B1%29%5D-%5Cfrac%7B2%7D%7Bx%2B1%7D%5B2%28x%2B1%29%5D%20%3D%201%5B2%28x%2B1%29%5D%5C%5Cx%28x%2B1%29-2%282%29%3D1%282x%2B2%29)
Distribute in all.
We should get like this. Because the polynomial is 2-degree, I'd suggest you to move all terms to one place. Therefore, moving 2x+2 to another side and subtract.
We are almost there. All we have to do is, solving for x by factoring. (Although there are more than just factoring but factoring this polynomial is faster.)
Thus, the answer is x = 3, -2
Answer:
A. (f-g)(x) = -7x -3
Step-by-step explanation:
(f -g)(x) = f(x) -g(x) = (-3x -5) -(4x -2)
= -3x -5 -4x +2
= -3x -4x -5 +2
(f -g)(x) = -7x -3
