Question

Perform the indicated operation:

g(n) = 3n - 1
h(n) = 2n + 4
Find g(5) - 3h(5).

a) -28
b) 7
c) -14
d) 21

Answer 1

To find g(5) - 3h(5), substitute the value of 5 into the functions g(n) and h(n), and perform the operations.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the value of g(5) - 3h(5), we need to substitute the value of 5 into the functions g(n) and h(n).

For g(n) = 3n - 1, g(5) = 3(5) - 1 = 15 - 1 = 14.

For h(n) = 2n + 4, h(5) = 2(5) + 4 = 10 + 4 = 14.

Therefore, g(5) - 3h(5) = 14 - 3(14) = 14 - 42 = -28.
