Final answer:
To find (f+g)(-8), substitute -8 into the expressions for f(n) and g(n), and then add the results together. The result is -43.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find (f+g)(-8), we need to substitute -8 into the expressions for f(n) and g(n) and then add the results together.
Given that f(n) = n - 5 and g(n) = 4n + 2, we can substitute -8 into both expressions:
f(-8) = (-8) - 5 = -13
g(-8) = 4(-8) + 2 = -30
Now, we can add the results together to find (f+g)(-8):
(f+g)(-8) = f(-8) + g(-8) = -13 + (-30) = -43
