Question

Suppose r(x) and t(x) are two functions with the same domain, and let h(x)=r(x)+t(x).

Answer 1

Answer:

If the maximum of function r(x) and t(x) occur at the same point c in domain P = max(r(x)+t(x)) = M+N

In general P  ≤  M+N

Step-by-step explanation:

If the maximum of function r(x) and t(x) occur at the same point c in domain then M=r(c) and N=t(c) So in this case P = max(r(x)+t(x)) = M+N

In general P  ≤  M+N

by definition of maximum  

r(x)≤M,t(x)≤N   for all x in domain

=>  r(x)+t(x)≤M+N   for all x in domain

=> max(r(x)+t(x)) <= M+N

=> P  ≤  M+N

Thus we get in general the relationship is P  ≤  M+N
