Answer:

3x² + x + 1

-3x² + x + 1

-54

Explanation:

there is nothing complicated to it. you just use the requested pertain on the whole expressions of the functions, and the result is then the new function.

so,

r(x) = 3x²

s(x) = x + 1

what do you think s + r is ?

it is simply

(s+r)(x) = 3x² + x + 1

done. that is really all there is to this.

now the next (but consider the sequence due to the sign)

(s-r)(x) = x + 1 - 3x² = -3x² + x + 1

and the third

(s×r)(x) = 3x²(x+1) = 3x³ + 3x²

so, for x=-3

(s×r)(-3) = 3×(-3)³ + 3×(-3)²

remember, an even power of a negative number gives a positive result, an uneven power of a negative number gives a negative result.

(s×r)(x) = 3×-27 + 3×9 = -81 + 27 = -54
