F(x) = 4x - 1
g(x) = 2x² + 3
1. (f + g)(x) = (4x - 1) + (2x² + 3)
(f + g)(x) = 2x² + 4x + (-1 + 3)
(f + g)(x) = 2x² + 4x + 2
Domain: {x| -∞ < x < ∞}, (-∞, ∞)
2. (f - g)(x) = (4x + 1) - (2x² + 3)
(f - g)(x) = 4x + 1 - 2x² - 3
(f - g)(x) = -2x² + 4x + 1 - 3
(f - g)(x) = -2x² + 4x - 2
Domain: {x|-∞ < x < ∞}, (-∞, ∞)
3. (g - f)(x) = (2x² + 3) - (4x - 1)
(g - f)(x) = 2x² + 3 - 4x + 1
(g - f)(x) = 2x² - 4x + 3 + 1
(g - f)(x) = 2x² - 4x + 4
Domain: {x| -∞ < x < ∞}, (-∞, ∞)
4. (f · g)(x) = (4x + 1)(2x² + 3)
(f · g)(x) = 4x(2x² + 3) + 1(2x² + 3)
(f · g)(x) = 4x(2x²) + 4x(3) + 1(2x²) + 1(3)
(f · g)(x) = 8x³ + 12x + 2x² + 3
(f · g)(x) = 8x³ + 2x² + 12x + 3
