BRAINLIEST PLEASE HELP np<br> If f(x)=-x^2+6x-1 and g(x)=3x^2-4x-1, find (f+g)(x)

raketka [301]

Answer:

$\large\boxed{B.\ (f+g)(x)=2x^2+2x-2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$f(x)=-x^2+6x-1\\\\g(x)=3x^2-4x-1\\\\(f+g)(x)=f(x)+g(x)\\\\\text{substitute:}\\\\(f+g)(x)=(-x^2+6x-1)+(3x^2-4x-1)\\\\(f+g)(x)=-x^2+6x-1+3x^2-4x-1\qquad\text{combine like terms}\\\\(f+g)(x)=(-x^2+3x^2)+(6x-4x)+(-1-1)\\\\(f+g)(x)=2x^2+2x-2$
