Answer: Option B


(f + g)(x)=x^2 - x - 3

Explanation:

In this problem we have the function


f(x) = 2x - 1

and the function


g(x) = x^2 - 3x - 2

They ask us to perform the operation:


(f + g)(x)

Therefore we must perform the algebaic summa of the function f plus the function g


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


(f + g)(x)=2x - 1 + x^2 - 3x - 2

Now we siplify the expression


(f + g)(x)=x^2 - x - 3
