Final answer:

To solve this question, we perform operations using the given functions f(x) and g(x) and determine which answer choices are true.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to perform a few operations using the given functions f(x) and g(x).

  1. To find f - g, we subtract the function g(x) from f(x) term by term:
    f - g = (2x² + 19x + 35) - (-x - 7) = 2x² + 20x + 42
    So, option a is true.
  2. To find f/g, we divide f(x) by g(x):
    f/g = (2x² + 19x + 35) / (-x - 7) = -2x - 5
    So, option b is true.
  3. To find g(f(-3)), we substitute -3 for x in f(x) and then substitute the result in g(x):
    g(f(-3)) = g(2(-3)² + 19(-3) + 35) = g(-9 + (-57) + 35) = g(-31) = -(-31) - 7 = 24
    So, option c is false.
  4. As x approaches infinity, the y value of g(x) approaches negative infinity:
    g(x): as x ➔ ∞, y ➔ -∞
    So, option d is true.
