Question

The tables for f(x) and g(x) are shown below.

(they are at the bottom)

What is the value of (f – g)(5)?

1. –18
2. –4
3. 16
4. 42

Answer 1

16

Explanation:

if f(x) when x=5 is 29 and g(x) when x=5 is 13 the (f-g) (5) Is 29-13. Hope that makes sense.

Answer 2

(f – g)(5)

By function properly

(f – g)(5) = f(5) - g(5)

(f – g)(5) = 29 - 13

⇒ 16

Hence "The value of (f – g)(5) for the given functions table is 16".
