(f+g)(x)=-x^2+6x-1+3x^2-4x-1=2x^2+2x-2

Answer:
(f+g)(x)=2x^2+2x-2

Explanation:

Given the function f(x), which is:


f(x)=-x^2 +6x-1

And the function g(x), which is:


g(x) =3x^2-4x-1

You can observe that
(f+g)(x) indicates that you need to add the functions, then you know that:


(f+g) (x)=(-x^2+6 x-1)+(3x^2-4x-1)

Finally, to simplify it you must addthe like terms. Therefore, you get that
(f+g)(x) is:


(f+g)(x)=-x^2+6 x-1+3x^2-4x-1


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