Question

Given the following functions find and simplify (f-g)(1) f(x)=-x^2-x-3 g(x)=-1

Answer 1

To find (f-g)(1), we first need to find f(1) and g(1): f(1) = -(1)^2 - 1 - 3 = -5 g(1) = -1 Now we can substitute these values into (f-g)(x) = f(x) - g(x) and simplify: (f-g)(1) = f(1) - g(1) = (-5) - (-1) = -4 Therefore, (f-g)(1) = -4.
