Question

Consider the following functions: f(x) = x², g(x) = x - 5. What are the functions f(x) and g(x)?

1) f(x) = x² and g(x) = x - 5
2) f(x) = x² and g(x) = x + 5
3) f(x) = x² and g(x) = x * 5
4) f(x) = x² and g(x) = x / 5

Answer 1

The correct functions as given in the question are f(x) = x² and g(x) = x - 5, so the correct option is 1) f(x) = x² and g(x) = x - 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

The functions f(x) = x² and g(x) = x - 5 are given in the question.

To identify these functions, we look at the various options provided.

Function f(x) is correctly identified as x² in all options, which is a second-order polynomial or quadratic function.

The function g(x) should be x - 5 as given initially.

Therefore, the correct option that matches both functions as given is 1) f(x) = x² and g(x) = x - 5.
