Question

Use the functions f(x) = 4x − 5 and g(x) = 3x + 9 to complete the function operations listed below.

Part A: Find (f + g)(x). Show your work. (3 points)

Part B: Find (f ⋅ g)(x). Show your work. (3 points)

Part C: Find f[g(x)]. Show your work. (4 points)

Answer 1

A:

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

(f+g)(x)=4x-5+3x+9

(f+g)(x)=7x+4

B:

(f•g)(x)=f(x)•g(x)

(f•g)(x)=(4x-5)(3x+9)

(f•g)(x)=12x^2-15x+36x-45

(f•g)(x)=12x^2+21x-45

C:

(f○g)(x)=f(g(x))

(f○g)(x)=4(3x+9)-5

(f○g)(x)=12x+36-5

(f○g)(x)=12x+31
