There are two ways to do this
Method 1:

Find (f-g)(x) first
(f-g)(x) = f(x) - g(x)
(f-g)(x) = (5x^2+3) - (-2x+4)
(f-g)(x) = 5x^2+3+2x-4
(f-g)(x) = 5x^2+2x-1

Then plug in x = -3
(f-g)(-3) = 5(-3)^2+2(-3)-1
(f-g)(-3) = 5(9)+2(-3)-1
(f-g)(-3) = 45-6-1
(f-g)(-3) = 39-1
(f-g)(-3) = 38

-----------------------------------------

Method 2:

Find f(-3)
f(x) = 5x^2+3
f(-3) = 5(-3)^2+3
f(-3) = 5(9)+3
f(-3) = 45+3
f(-3) = 48

Find g(-3)
g(x) = -2x+4
g(-3) = -2(-3)+4
g(-3) = 6+4
g(-3) = 10

Subtract the two results
(f-g)(-3) = f(-3) - g(-3)
(f-g)(-3) = 48 - 10
(f-g)(-3) = 38

-----------------------------------------

Whichever method you pick, the answer is: 38

vekshin1

Number of combinations of 5 women from 7 = 7C5 = 7*6 / 2 = 21
for men its 7C4 = 7*6*5 / 3*2 = 35

Total number of ways = 21*35 = 735

Identify the factors of 9x^2+24x+16

Goryan [66]

Hi friend,

This is a perfect square trinomial.

It can be recognised because it is of the form:

a^2−2ab+b^2=(a−b)^2

with a=3x and b=4

9x2−24x+16=(3x)2−(2⋅(3x)⋅4)+42

=(3x−4)2

The height h(n) of a bouncing ball is an exponential function of the number n of bounces.

Digiron [165]

Answer:

The height of a bouncing ball is defined by $h(n) = 6\cdot \left(\frac{4}{6} \right)^{n-1}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

According to this statement, we need to derive the expression of the height of a bouncing ball, that is, a function of the number of bounces. The exponential expression of the bouncing ball is of the form:

$h = h_{o}\cdot r^{n-1}$ , $n \in \mathbb{N}$ , $0 < r < 1$ (1)
