Question

If f(x) = –x2 + 3x + 5 and g(x) = x2 + 2x, which graph shows the graph of (f + g)(x)?

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is

the last graph

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the graph which shows (f + g)(x) we must first find (f + g)(x)

That's

f(x) = - x² + 3x + 5

g(x) = x² + 2x

To find (f + g)(x) add g(x) to f(x)

That's

(f + g)(x) = -x² + 3x + 5 + x² + 2x

Group like terms

(f + g)(x) = - x² + x² + 3x + 2x + 5

We have (f + g)(x) as

(f + g)(x) = 5x + 5

Since (f + g)(x) is linear the graph which shows (f + g)(x) is the last graph

Hope this helps you
